Being a freelancer carries many advantages
such as high potential earnings, excitement and unpredictability,
using your skills and talents in the areas that you most enjoy and
you can make a lot of contacts, but it can be a tough way of life
with unpaid holidays and no security. It may require investing in
long hours and will undoubtedly affect your life in general.
Multi-skilling is a valuable commodity and if
you are able to turn your hand to other skills you will find you
are able to take on a range of projects rather than a small number
that use your key skill.
Make sure that you manage your time efficiently
and if you find yourself in a period with very little work, use
that time to find new sources of business or to develop your creative
skills and knowledge.
