I’m hoping to do this one day! I’d love to do freelance work in photography, especially. Any tips?
Congratulations!

well…i wouldn’t consider my leap flawless or without problems by any means. BUT my approach, in brief, was to speak with anyone that would give me the time; save as much as i could and build my client base before i left.

one thing that i did notice, when speaking to all the people that i did, was…everyone had their own way of making that transition.

also, there are many books on the subject. i read many of them but none that i would particularly endorse.

good luck and when it gets hard try to remember that it takes time.
