If you could choose again, would you rather be an employee or a freelancer?
“I would choose freelancing again!”
Jeb Brilliant answered that question with no pause for thought. He does occasionally think about the regular office and the merits of being an employee. However, the freedom to do what he wants and the time he gets to spend with his family trumps the thought of being a regular employee any day.
When he’s not busy being a Community Manager for Phone.com, he runs a personal blog, ‘The Mobile Perspective‘ where he expresses his opinions on everything mobile. A voracious reader, he chanced upon an article on our iPhone invoicing app. Being a Zoho Invoice customer since 2009, he quickly downloaded the app and found all the invoices already created (thanks to recurring invoice), queued up and waiting for his approval before being sent. He checked and instantly emailed all the invoices to his clients.
Jeb says,
I could be sitting in a meeting or a conference without my laptop or walking down a street or attending a trade show and remember that I need to send an invoice. Now I don’t have to send a reminder to myself anymore. I can just open the app and do it at that very moment.
Jeb’s advice to freelancers and small business owners,
“Whether you are a graphic artist , a community manager or an accountant, if you are a small business owner, you shouldn’t just be squeezing by just to get through the month. As time goes by, you may get a partner, get married and have a family and things will get more expensive than the days when you were single. Value yourself more. Being a freelancer doesn’t mean you have to struggle all the time.”
