I kind of do a hybrid since I work a full time regular ol’ 9-5 job but do some freelancing and blogging on the side. And when there are internet issues and whatnot it drives me crazy. Can’t imagine how it would feel if I was fully self employed!

But if you can pull off being truly location independent, working from anywhere in the world, that seems like a sweet deal.

We always hear about all the great things about being location independent, but nothing’s perfect. Although as someone that’s been on both sides of the fence, I’m definitely looking forward to being completely self-employed and location independent again :)

My internet at home is intermittent sometimes because we live in the country. Sometimes I go to our local library as they have fast wi-fi.

Adjusting to a schedule has been tough for me at times, self-employment has made me addicted to e-mail & the internet in ways I wasn’t when I was employed.

Great post! I can relate to all those points you brought up. I definitely agree that most people just don’t have the “whole story” to working online. How much dedication and discipline it takes when you don’t have the big boss looking over your shoulder. Great read thanks for sharing

You’re just telling it like it is. I think it takes enormous self-discipline and initiative to be self-employed. And you need to apply good judgment – way more than someone following the company rules – as you navigate your way through constantly changing ways of doing business. A good article to read for anyone considering letting go of the 9-5.

I still feel like I have bosses…editors (when I freelance write) and customers (blog readers). Not complaining, just my perspective. :D
