It’s the dream of most freelancers; more time for personal projects, for family and for going to the beach, instead of spending Saturdays in front of a computer. But can we have the lifestyle we want while still making the money we need? Sometimes we don’t need more, we need better. We don’t need more gigs, we need better gigs, which in turn lets us lead more well-balanced lives.

Even though some of these require some serious self-evaluation and possibly business restructuring, they’ll be worth it when you spend your evenings with family and friends.
