Making these decisions can be overwhelming–even if you’re a veteran. This past January, for the second time in my career, I abandoned a comfy full-time gig and jumped whole hog into a completely open calendar. Coming up on my last day as an employee, I couldn’t wait to be free again. I felt like queen of the world: I had potential clients offering me paid work, volunteer opportunities to dive into, a long list of new skills and technologies I couldn’t wait to teach myself, and a calendar full of free time. It felt great.
Then I spent my first day as a freelancer wrapped in a blanket, wide-eyed and paralyzed, wondering what in the world I’d gotten myself into. That didn’t feel great.
It was time to do some soul-searching. I picked up a notebook and pen and got to teasing out a bigger vision that would help me make sense of the smaller decisions. I was crafting my personal business model.
