What Kind of Work-Life Balance Do You Dream About?
As a freelance writer, it might just be this
When the alarm goes off every morning, and you’re fighting sleep during your commute, do you ever wish you could just hit the snooze button and sleep in a bit, working at a time when you feel most alert?
Or better, working at a time when you dang well felt like it?
Or do you hate dropping your kids off at daycare, knowing there’s an opportunity out there for you to be their nurturing caretaker instead? Maybe your spouse has vacation time accrued, but you don’t, so the family has to say no to vacation because your boss won’t allow the time off.
Those darn bosses seem to ruin everything.
Becoming a freelance writer means you set your schedule. This is one of the most sought-after perks people look for as a work-from-anywhere writer. The flexibility will provide more personal satisfaction than anything else.
You can work as many hours (or as few) as you want to. Because of automation options, you can set things up to earn for you while you’re on vacation when you’re not feeling well, or even if you want to take the day off and attend a parent-teacher conference or school play one day.
