Oh, yes, that’s a huge factor and one I forgot to mention. Here, Pete and I have been friends for a long time, he knew I wasn’t a slacker and this idea of freelancing could work. If I were totally on my own, it would have definitely been more stressful.

Great post, Harry. I particularly like your last point. One of the reasons that I finally decided to freelance full time is because the job situation was unsettled and it made me consider my options. Even though I could have stayed in the job, by the time things had calmed down I had already concluded that freelancing was what I really wanted to do – and I left anyway. I’m really glad I took the plunge. Of course, it’s even easier if there’s a second household income so you’re not on the breadline.
