At least you get to do the best of both worlds, having a full-time job and doing what you like on the side as well.<BR/><BR/>@fruityoaty - thanks for sharing. I hope you can also blog about your freelancing life. I'm sure that will be an interesting read.<BR/><BR/>@connie - thanks for the link love!janettetoral.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04446831361930542916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129466.post-34867113446304423002008-03-24T21:01:00.000+08:002008-03-24T21:01:00.000+08:00Hi, Janette!

I will, probably in a couple of weeks.<BR/><BR/>As for freelancing, I've been doing it for the last 5 years (by choice, I left full-time management job years ago)... and all I can say is, I don't feel like going back to a 9-5 office job anytime soon. Freelancing has its fair share of headaches, but ah... the freedom to spectacularly succeed... or fail.

You...Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog! You have quite a lot of interesting articles and blogs. Determination can help you go a long way when freelancing. I don't do it full-time, but I do quite a lot in the hours after work and on weekends to keep inspiring my creativity when designing websites and making them SEO friendly. I want to do it full-time, but working at an agency doesn't afford me much time to prepare to strike out on my own.imwithsullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11955886128599212707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129466.post-46654839975514926672008-03-21T15:40:00.000+08:002008-03-21T15:40:00.000+08:00@brainteaser - yes indeed.

Only when I expanded into areas like training and consulting did things became easier as well. If you are looking for writing opportunities, give me a buzz.

I started only last September, after working fulltime for a publication company.<BR/><BR/>I have always dreamed of doing freelance. I like the freedom, although, I must admit, there are times that uncertaintees would pay me a visit.<BR/><BR/>But it's alright. I'm not yet doing well, but I am surviving.<BR/><BR/>Have a good day.

I believe The Secret reminds its viewers or readers to always think positively and to always look at the good side of things and not the bad. I think it's a practical translation of the famous Bible version, "Ask and it shall be given unto you."Jonihttp://www.taintedsong.comnoreply@blogger.com
