Nathan is interviewed by Freelance Switch!
Coffee Shop Websites: “In this interview, we discuss the joys and downsides of freelancing, outsourcing tasks and web design issues, like content management systems and using Dreamweaver as a glorified text editor.”
This might be the best article I’ve read on the freelance life. I envy Nathan, and I look forward to the day when I can work from the coffee shop every day.

nykki
hmmm….I left a comment on that site, but appearantly it wasn’t approved or I’m blind.
Appearantly, appearantly isn’t a word.

Luckily for Nathan the cheques keep rolling in steadily, so he hasn’t experienced any downside to freelancing. Even though I’ve gone through a few dry spells myself it still wasn’t enough to convince me to work full-time for an employer again just to get a reliable paycheque. Now that I’m free to do my own thing I’m ruined for working full-time under anyone again… I can’t imagine doing anything worse to myself.
Working for a boss I lived from one pay review to the next and hoped each time it was going to be a good one. If you have your own business your income is potentially limitless – you are in control of how much you make through putting in the hard work and marketing effectively. So if I had a really good year I *could* put money away for a rainy day. I haven’t been able to do that yet though… it always seems to get swallowed up by ever enlarging tax payments.

Are you happy with talking about you in the conversation? 🙂 its so sweet of him. 😛 i feel you guys are free to do what you want, which is what i envy you guys could work and take rest in control of yourself. He is right people must get the steady check that’s really the reason cant go on your route.
