Why is freelancing difficult?

• Dealing with the feast & famine cycle
• Lots of projects Vs No projects
• Managing every aspect of business entirely on your own
• Finding time to market yourself, do client work, deal with clients, keep up the administrative stuff, and still grow the business
• Balancing work and life (and often family) while dealing with all of the above
• Getting sick, going on vacation, or otherwise not working 24/7 while still dealing with all of the above
