Organizing Your Freelance Business Before Going on a Vacation

 Posted in: FreelanceTipsWeb DesignWritten by: Samar OwaisMay 3rd, 2011

If I told you that you were to take a two-week break right now, what would your response be? I’m willing to bet that none of you jumped up in the air and screamed ‘Yes!’ much less fall to the ground in thanks. Your first thought probably was ‘I can’t take a vacation. I have work to do!’ The most annoying thing about freelancing is our inability to take vacations. Sure, theoretically, we can take them. Practically, it’s nearly impossible. After all, who’s going to run the business if we’re on leave? Running a freelance business means that there is no paid leave. If a freelancer wants to take a vacation, he can’t just pack his suitcase and leave for two weeks. There are clients to answer to after all! Unfortunately, if you don’t take a break, you’re going to burn out faster than a tire on a race car. And to avoid burnout you need to– you guessed it – take a vacation.

 Posted in: FreelanceTipsWeb DesignWritten by: RyJekFebruary 23rd, 2011

I have created several startups over the years, some of them failed others managed to stay afloat. At one point I even had under my command the biggest jRPG Portal in Poland. While that's not totally relevant I just wanted to back up my claims with some real achievements, so you know I don't pull stuff from thin air.
