Life is what you make it. I chose to remain independent for my career. Both 2000 and 2007 came and went and unless someone told me, I wouldn't know we were in a recession or stock market crash.

Perhaps I missed out on a few opportunities but I never really wanted to trade my freedom for the chance of money.

If you have a good network and do quality work, you will be in demand regardless of the market. There will never be a shortage of people that need good, quality work done and are willing to pay for it.




How to you make a transition to this way of working? Is it all about networking?
