Going Freelance is Not a “Leap of Faith”

At least it shouldn’t be.

They say you should not ask a question if you don’t want to hear the answer — or, in some cases, if you are not sure of the answer.

For example, an engagement should never be a surprise for either party. Discussing marriage and timelines and expectations is all part of the process.

The actual proposal can be a surprise, but the discussions and everything leading up to deciding if you’re both ready to be married should not be. That is part of a healthy, happy relationship: discussing each of our wants and needs in a long-term relationship. Financial goals, whether or not you’ll have kids, religion, and more are all important topics to be thoroughly discussed before the ring is in place and the processional music starts playing.

Another example of this is freelancing.

There are many reasons why someone may choose to become a freelancer.

Maybe you lost your job and want to try freelancing to make money before deciding if you want to go back to full-time traditional work.

Maybe you hate your job or career and want to go freelance to have more control.
