Becoming a Contractor

The freelance life could be for you if:

1. Your professional experience adds credibility to your venture.
2. You have up-to-date skills that are in demand.
3. You have the sales skills to survive self-employment.
4. You like company but can handle solitude too.

Don't quit yet if:

1. You're not sure about giving up permanent employment.
2. You tend to procrastinate - no results means no payment!
3. You adore constant company - will you fit in any work between your friends' e-mails and calls?
4. You spend your entire income in advance.
5. You wouldn't dream of pestering someone you know for a sale.
6. You are committed to getting paid, on time, every time.
