In reply to Ar. Lol. Needless to say, it hasn't all been plain sailing. But generally speaking I've found that when one door closes, another often opens just around the corner. I do though think it's important to stay up to date with what your market wants, keep updating your skill set, and make full use of the power of networking.

In reply to Nick. Wow you must've been a bit of a trailblazer to have been doing it for so long, that gives me hope that it is sustainable!

In reply to Caz / InvisiblyMe. I totally agree with you about the multi-tasking, it's one of the hardest parts of juggling the workload x

I’ve been self-employed working from home for over 20 years now. I can’t really imagine what it would be like having a normal job any more. I agree with all the comments in the article. I think you have to be somewhat anti-social to cope with the fact that for so many hours you will be working on your own. Even so, I do still sometimes miss the banter and chat with colleagues. On the other hand, I don’t miss the commuting, the office politics, the pointless meetings, the bureaucracy, and so on. As you say, working from home isn’t for everyone, but it has worked well for me. I value the flexibility it has given me and the chance to learn new skills and get paid for doing things I enjoy!

I find myself getting a bit confused and all over the place with things because it’s often the case of starting something, not being able to finish it for whatever reason, getting something else crop up and having to constantly multi task and move between things. It can get exhausting trying to keep on top of what you’re doing. Great tips! Caz xx
