Making the leap into full-time freelancing

Episode Summary

“How do you know you’re ready to make the leap into freelancing — especially during COVID? I’ve been freelancing on the side for a while and am feeling super uninspired by my day job lately. I don’t currently make enough freelancing to make it work with healthcare and such (thanks, America) but am considering making the jump. What were your must-dos before jumping into full time self-employment?”
