I used to panic-scroll job boards at midnight, hoping tomorrow would bring a new client. The truth? Inconsistent income wasn’t a cash flow problem.

It was a systems problem.

There was a time when I thought freelancing was freedom.

I set my own hours. I chose my clients. I answered to no boss.

But here’s the part I didn’t post on Instagram:

My income looked like a rollercoaster designed by someone who hated stability. One month I’d hit $6,000. The next? Barely $1,200.

And the thing: Every time a client project ended, I had to start the hunt all over again. Cold outreach. Pitching. Awkward networking calls. Hustling harder than I wanted to admit.

If you’ve been there, you know the cycle: feast, famine, repeat.

It took me nearly burning out to admit the truth, freelancing isn’t freedom if your business can’t run without you.
