Going full-time first could work, but it can also turn into a trap (speaking from experience). Bronze handcuffs, if you will. For someone starting in full time but looking to go freelance later, I recommend: * Spending well below your means. I can "afford" my mortgage, taken out when I got my first full-time job, but I presently can't afford to not have the full-time job. * Take small jobs early and often. No job-finding method seems to work better, for everyone involve, than word of mouth, and that network takes time to build up. I'm hampered by own lack of a freelance-specific network. * Check out the Homework podcast (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/home-work/id513251648?mt...). One of the hosts makes his living as a freelancer. |
