There are many, MANY reasons to leave the 9-to-5 "Rat-Race" behind to become a freelancer. No more obnoxious bosses. No more superiors stealing your ideas and taking the credit. No more traffic jams. Working in pajamas instead of business suits. But financial stability? Hmmm. Let's take a closer look...

As for keeping away from downtime? I have found that aside from my wife and dog, a biz-blog is the best friend I've ever had. 85% of my business is now a direct result from people reading my blog. That being said, downtime is ever-present. I find the work to be very seasonal. There are times that I have had so much work that I have had to turn clients away and there are times that I have prayed for weeks that a client will contact me :(
I wish you all the best and look forward to reading your next article!

You do have a way of telling the story and getting a key point across that we can relate to and not just freelancers.
Just a question for you that could help other freelancers, how do you keep the supply of jobs up so it isn't feast or famine. Any tips?
