The Day I Became a Full-time Freelancer

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Today marks an important day in my career. Today is the first day of my life as a full-time freelancer. Yesterday was the last day at the day job. No more clocking in. No more jerk boss. No more snitching by fellow employees. I’m done.

The decision to go freelance was an easy one for me to make. After having my own art business for awhile, I learned to like making money for myself. That feeling grew into a passion as I took up blogging and writing.

I looked at it this way. Either three years from now, I’ll look back and wish that I would have given it a go, or I can say, “Wow, that was the best decision I ever made”. I choose the latter.

I was so happy when I left. My husband kindly had bought a card for me, congratulating me and telling me that he was proud of me. Then, there was dinner out and a bottle of bubbly.

Since I’ve been doing it part-time, I have an idea of how my days will go. I know the ups and downs of struggling to write or come up with the right word. I consider myself well prepared.

So, I’d like to reach out to anyone considering a similar move. Life is just too short. Save your money as a cushion. Get the support of your family. Then, go for it!
