Freelancing in Real Life

For the second day in a row, Jason Sadler is wearing a shirt that is relevant to me. (FYI, in my house we don’t get TV. Instead, Jason and his daily Ustream show have become my dose of “reality TV”)  Today he is wearing a shirt for MBO Partners, a company that specializes in making it easy for independent consultants and their clients to work together.  Jason issued an assignment for the independent consultants in his audience to explain what they like about their job.  Here are my top five things:

1 – The ability to do my job from ANYWHERE (obviously – what blog is this?)

2 – Being able to have every meal of the day with my family since I work from home

3 – Having control to choose the type of clients I get to work with (Currently working with an awesome group of clients!)

4 – Having control over the types of services I am able to offer

5 – Having a flexible enough schedule to take an afternoon off or work until midnight, whenever I want or need

There are a ton of other reasons why I love what I do, but these are tops for me.

What do YOU love about being an independent consultant? Watch Jason’s video, create a video or blog post about why you love it, and maybe even win a cool shirt!
