Living the Freelance Life – Being Free and Secure

by Rob Paterson

More and more of us work for ourselves now – either by choice or by force!

Many of us in jobs wander about what this life might be like.

Many would like to be more free but worry about security.

Many don’t know how best to live this life – for all they know is how to live the organizational life – so they have no idea of how to set such a life up.

Back in 1994, I only knew the traditional life but found myself free but ignorant. Here is a series that I am adding to every day of what I have learned to be true and that work.

Bottom line – you can be free and more secure.

So here is an expanding series of posts about Freelancing. Each day I will fill in the blanks and finish with Control and Adventure. I hope that his helps.

Rob: This is Awesome (with a capital "A")! I found that working for a company is the equivalent of relying on one big "client" for everything. You always have to worry about layoffs, politics, etc. It's far, far, far more secure to have several clients, each providing part of your income. And these days, what difference does it make if you're a "virtual" employee who happens to be outside the firewall versus being on premise?
