You've heard me say it on the air more than one, just as you diversify your portfolio so you must diversify your work, your job, your employment. We are becoming a nation of freelancers and this will open up a world of opportunity for you! Gone are the days of a 8 hour work day, 40 hour work week, working extra on weekends with no pay, and a boss deciding on how much or how little you can earn. While it is a change for most Americans not all change is a bad thing. Freelancing opens up lots of new opportunities for you. No more worries about childcare because lost of work can be done from home and on your own hours. Exciting new challenges where everyday doesn't look the same. An opportunity for you to control how much or how little work you do and how much or how little money you earn.
