When I looked into becoming a freelancer, I was told that it would be three years before I would be able to make a reliable income. Based on how things are going they are right (sigh). While my coloring books do sell well and I do get Freelance jobs, it is 1/10th of what I was making in the office. Everyday I keep track of what my husband makes compared to what I make on a dry erase board. Seeing the hard numerical evidence can be so painful. And there are some nights that I wish I could go back to knowing exactly when my paycheck would show up. On those nights I’m going to watch this video. In three years I want to be proud to say to all my friends that yes, I’m still standing.
