Hi again @chekohler
Somehow I got hooked-up to your publications today :)
There is this growing trend of ditching your 9-5 finding value outside corporate structures and going your own way which is admirable
Many believe (myself included) that being capable of adjusting to constant change within your work environment and life will help us to get ready for upcoming economic crisis. Freelancing is a way to go for many of us.
It surely is not an easy process.
Cheers
Piotr
