🤖 The gist
We bailed on the 9-5 grind to work for ourselves because we hated long commutes, endless email threads, and the monotony.
Freelancing was the promised land. We ditched our alarm clocks and deleted Outlook. We got to cherry-pick projects we loved. And when the money started rolling in, we made those Cyber Monday shoppers envious.
But soon enough, the reality bus hit us in the face.
We didn't know we were signing up for a new set of challenges. Like the highs and lows of landing new clients. Plus, having to become project managers, social media coordinators, and bookkeepers too.
Freelancing provides us with freedoms we couldn't dream of. But not without responsibility. The thing is that it's all on you.
So as tax season approaches, get your books in order. You don't want to get nicked by the tax bus.👇🏽
