Any employee will face this issue, not just a freelancer. The best part is, if you are freelancing, nobody will force you to correct it! So you can take your time.

PINKY CLIENTS CAN MAKE YOU LOSE TIME AND MONEY:

That’s where experience counts. For an experienced freelancer, that’s never an issue. But yes, PINKY COMPANIES can make you lose time and money, even if you have Great experience.

NO SECURITY:

Would have been better if you had talked about insurance and all other benefits offered by a company. But for your point: If you waste time like that in a company, you get FIRED. As a freelancer, that’s ok, you can still find a new client to work for.

CAN BE LONG WORKING HOURS:

True for both. Freelancing is enjoyable if you are loving the work.

ALWAYS AT WORK:

Not a problem for those who love their work. It’s good to stay involved. You are in a continuous process of learning. This point suits sounds best from lazy workers who have been dragged into freelancing. Hope you are not one of them.

FREELANCING ISN’T SCALABLE:

Try taking big holidays from a company. Freelancing is definitely scalable if you can manage your work properly

PAY FOR YOUR OWN PROBLEMS:

Try breaking your company’s computer and see the result. You would love it!

CLIENTS IN DIFFERENT TIMEZONE CAN BE A PROBLEM:

And why will you choose to work with a client like that?? The world is a BIG place and rotates around the sun to give 24 hours per day!

FINDING CLIENTS:

Now I am pretty convinced you are jobless, hopeless and lazy lazy lazy. I guess finding clients is the RICHEST part, not for money, but experience-wise! You learn how to become a great salesman and a consultant!

A human has three resources remember? Time, money and experience??

YOUR SUCCESS IS IN YOUR OWN HANDS:

Dear oh dear! Who hired this author? Kid, this statement is true for both employment and freelancing! In job, success doesn’t lie in your BOSS’s hands does it??!

CONCLUSION —–>>

You are definitely frustrated. Somehow I think that you did work for some company and got fired, then you chose to be a freelancer but you somehow ended up hopeless because you are lazy. You could not find clients. You could not earn the money. And now you end up here, being thrashed by other freelancers real bad.

My suggestion- first learn proper english, then try to be organized. Open your eyes. You will know the truth. And never “lose” the balance between the three resources. If you choose to give a higher priority to either one, you lose self-control and will get even more frustrated.

Good luck

Why should we try to sugar coat everything? That makes no sense…we (as freelancers) need to know what the big world of freelance design is like. No job is a piece of cake or a trip to Cancun.

Plus, no matter what, you always deal with cross browser display issues. It’s inevitable with being a web designer. You can’t avoid it. It’s called working with CSS and IE. There is no escape. Sure, you can become better prepared and experienced with handling these issues, but they don’t go away.

The downside to being a freelancer is that you have ZERO health benefits and not a dependable income!

I’m a web designer with a Bachelor’s Degree in Web Design and I’m currently a freelancer. I would MUCH rather have a steady hourly job that I could depend on.

Plus, in today’s economy you’re dealing with people who want work, but they want it for dirt cheap. At some point, if you keep turning down clients who want cheap work, then there is no work for freelancers. It’s a tough situtation to be in.
