It’s been a few years since I moved in-house with a company and while it was beneficial post Covid 19, I still can’t help but feel that it’s not really the life for me. When working in-house, your client becomes an all consuming boss where there thoughts and ideas will always come before your ideas. I recently freelanced 1 day a week with a new client and while my health suffered through a 6 day working week, it was invigorating taking control again and being respected as an expert in the field.
I’ve been missing setting my own hours. Missing a mix of clientele that helps keeps my creativity flourishing. Most importantly, I miss being focusing on my marketing role. As I rose through the ranks, I took on more work outside of marketing that even included some retail shifts and realised once and for all where my passion runs deep. If you love what you do, its never work!
With this in mind, I think I’m ready to go back to freelancing again and hopefully this time make it a full-time job! The fear is always there that the work may not be steady and there are hidden costs you need to factor in when deciding who to work with, but overall, I’m excited to go back to helping local businesses flourish.
