“I recently made the leap to full time freelancing and it has given me more time to challenge myself. I was really busy working my ass off for different things, but I wanted to be working my ass off for something that challenged me. I’ve been using the time to work on projects that have fallen by the wayside. Spending more time doing things that I enjoy, building relationships with new people with the same values as me.

I don’t think I have more free time, but it’s given me the focus to spend that time better.”
