Freelancing Isn’t Equally Risky for Everyone

[mendez]

Most “I quit my 9–5 to freelance” stories skip a crucial truth:
Freelancing isn’t equally risky for everyone.

When you have savings, family support, or a partner covering bills, the leap feels softer.
But for many, freelancing starts from urgency, not freedom — layoffs, underpaid jobs, burnout.

That doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
It just means you need structure, not luck.
Start by separating security from creativity — your first clients don’t need to be dream gigs, they just need to create stability.

Because you can’t build freedom without first buying yourself time
