I was drowning in my own business.

How I went from being a freelancer to being a “solo operator.”
I went solo for the reason you probably did. I wanted to choose my own work, my own hours, and chase whatever caught my interest.
I remember one day in particular. I sat down with a coffee and a plan. I was finally going to do work on a project I cared about.
I opened my laptop and there were nine emails waiting.
One had a question about an invoice. Another wanted the revisions I’d promised on Friday (my bad). A third had found a bug and wanted it gone by end of day. Then a new lead came in, so I wrote a proposal.
My coffee went cold. I ate lunch standing up.
B*tch, I became an employee again. Only no benefits. Or overtime.
