If you have been around on the forum for more than a couple of years, you know there’s a common theme from me about taking the S in CENTS very seriously.
There were a lot of justifications and pushback from the freelance/copywrite crowd. I eventually pulled back from the discussion since the tides have never been in my favor on this concept.
I believe in starting a business. Not selling your time. Pure and simple.
So… To those of you who have argued with me over the years that freelancing is awesome, or that it’s a stepping stone, or that it’s a “lifestyle business” tell us about your progress.
I’m genuinely curious… Did anyone prove me wrong? Has anyone achieved a big upgrade in lifestyle, free time? Has anyone seen a reduction in stress or hours worked? Has anyone successfully made a leap off the stepping stone into a scalable venture?
How’s it going? Don’t embellish. Be honest. Are you happy with your choice?
