second that advice about saving. not only is it good discipline, it really is useful. I had health and family issues at one time, completely unexpected, which meant I wasn’t able to work or market much for a good while, and the savings were really a great help.

This is my first time to your site and I really enjoyed the post. I KNOW that my freelance career is like any other job but I still sometimes have trouble putting that into practice.

Goals: Get my business plan finished, printed and in a folder.

Come up with a marketing plan (including queries) and following through.

I think you just might have been the motivation I needed to finally get it done.

Now I’m hungry for Mac & Cheese…

Nice advice here, Bob. I’ve been thinking of doing some investing. I’m horrible with money, no matter how much or little of it I have.

Great tips. I am planning to leave my ‘real’ job in the next six months…so it’s good to see some practical advice to help me make it work.

HA! I just had my second meeting with my financial advisor as it was time to get everything organized. I’m blessed that my parents set me up with many good things — but I needed to pull it all together with a professional’s help.

One tip: If you talk to a financial advisor who discusses ONLY B shares. Run away. Far. Fast. Wide. Find someone else. That’s not someone you want. A good advisor will discuss at least A and B Shares. They tend to profit more from B shares. The two could be roughly equal… but plug in easy numbers and you’ll understand them better.

Of course, I am not a professional financial person (Not even close). So it’s just a suggestion.

Thanks, Bob! Enjoy your posts as always! I also must look up Linwood MI on Google Maps! I do have *untouchable* my teaching retirement and Social Security (laugh, laugh) in the bank. Have some very small investments. I am just starting out becoming a full-time writer and blogger; I am forcing myself to do the 10% savings and 10% tithing and 5% investments and 20% taxes right off the top. When I receive a payment, only 55% of it is “mine”…

It really helps with my cash flow projections. Remember that first paycheck of your first job when you learned the shocking difference between “gross” and “net”? Freelancers should be doing the exact same thing with each receivable; whether with a simple spreadsheet or one of the excellent apps for small businesses…
