Should I freelance?

Question: I have been going over this opprortunity for a long time. Should I freelance and work from home? But the answer, the logical answer, always wins. Can I survive? And the funny thing is thatI always think that I cant. I am a single mom. If I fail, my kids fail with me. And we eat nothing. So?

Dear Abby,

I am glad you asked this question because this was the very same question I asked myself 7 years back. I had a needy 1-month-old child then (now I have 2) and I knew that if I leaped into the freelance world (which was something I REALLY wanted to do), it would spell either success orFAILURE. And I cant take failure for an answer.

I know every one of us is different. Our situation is different and the circumstances surrounding our decision is different butone thing is the same. The passion to move out of the corporate confines.

Good questions to ask yourself:

Do YOU want to freelance?
Do YOU want to have more freedom?
Do YOU want to answer to no one?
Do YOU feel that you could earn more money from a business on your ownover time?
Do YOU want to have CONTROL over your life?
Will YOU be willing...
