I’ve been freelancing and
working for myself for almost two years now and I tell you what, I like it!
I enjoy the freedom of
being my own boss.
I don’t have to work with
coworkers,
Flexible time, working any
time of the day is great for me.
I choose who my clients are and
refuse any boring project.
Avoiding the traffic jam...
With all the benefits of a
freelancer, it isn’t so easy to be one:
I have to stay
motivated, to be creative everyday, to have a great discipline, and always to
search for a new clients and new ideas.
With so many advantages, I have to compromise on
the instability. Financial stability is very important.I guess financially almost every lebanese freelancer is suffering in Lebanon.
Taking care of multiple tasks; like dealing
with your clients and searching for new projects...
Freelancing is like you are running a startup, you
need everything in the world to keep your work going on.
In my opinion to be a successful freelancer you should be able to focus more on your creativity and
projects and forgetting the "leisure" of being a freelancer.
Are you a freelancer? Please share your opinion.

There si no perfect job there is only perfect pay check !
Freelancing is much better than working in an office with a boss and stupid coworkers. trust me on that and good luck joe
Being employed never worked for me. I am a freelancer and I am enjoying it. Every say I become more and more sure that I made the right decision.
I loved being a freelancer but life happened and i couldnt compromise on financial stability. I had to get a 9 to 5 job and although i work for a wonderful company being stuck in an office makes me miserable.
I am not a freelancer, but I surely agree it's a tough job. Keep up the good work Joe
LOL @Rana, You have to Love your work.
@Pam I agree

@Anonymous Thank you for your comment
@Liliane Thank you dear :))
There are only few freelancers that a business owner can rely on to deliver quality work without overpricing.
Employees adhere to the corporate culture while freelancers are usually loose canons who think they know better and cannot respect the corporate vision.
Out of every 10 Freelancers I ever worked with only 1 or 2 were worth keeping on the long run.
If you are one of those then you're doing it right.
