Freelancing Digest Issue #57 – November 13th, 2015

Lifetime commitment

Indecision and the angst that comes from it will get in your way if you let it. Blar Enns talks about lifetime commitment and how that can free you from getting stuck. It’s made me question my shiny object syndrome.

Opportunity like no other

Cait Flanders tells her story about how freelancing gives her more opportunity to become rich than working a day job. There’s much more to this, if freelancing gives you the ability to work from (mostly) anywhere then you can live (mostly) anywhere you want. Want to live in a big city? Want a laid back, small-town life? Would you rather move every year as a long-term travel plan? Owning your business gives you the flexibility to do what makes the most financial/social/mental/etc sense.
