I read Dan Pink’s Free Agent Nation just before I started working for myself and would recommend it to anyone else looking at making the leap to freelancing.
After almost three years, here’s a partial list of what being a free agent means to me:
10. Doing my own tech support
9. Only working seven days a week
8. Paying cash & avoiding monthly payments
7. Time for exercise and reading
6. Lots of short breaks, but no long holidays
5. Getting asked to volunteer more
4. Seeing more of my banker
3. Seeing more of my family
2. Looking forward to Mondays
1. Creating my own opportunities
