Best current career choice:
Quit to become a Freelancer.

OH BOY did I sleep bad directly after that decision - no contracts, no sales running.

Oh BOY do I now 2 days later sleep like a dam relaxed, happy baby :) - My network for the win!

The days before handing in my resignation I really looked forward to just leaving, but the actual task again was scary. Why? Cause until then future for me was bound to income, job=stable income = happy me, happy wife, happy child.

Now? Just 4 days later, If all goes to plan I'm already overbooked twice. Truth told!: Couldn't have done it without the network that I built over the years where I was employed. Let's see how this works out :)

I stand up with a huge smile each morning: Just a great feeling!

    Do you know how much you have to charge per hour?
    get a lawyer to set up a good contract for your clients and include payment by milestones.
    And think about taxes and insurance.

    60-80% of your time have to be billable and 40-30 % of your time is where you do non billable paperwork bookkeeping, self improvement and client acquirement. If you constantly can bill more than 80% of your time, get a parttime employee. And if you can, outsource bookkeeping to an accountant firm. have a look at Quickbooks

    @heyheni jup all ready taken care of. To be true isn't my first freelancing gig. But the first where I'm doing it full-time. :)

    Thanks for the tips!

    @heyheni that's why you don't freelance, you create saas and sell it to thousands of users

    Even if it takes 6 months one good project can pay a lifetime comfortable income

    It has for me
