Look what you've made of yourself in the online world! :) Like John Soares, I too have felt the sting of the economy in my business which means we work for less than we'd like to. But short of sending clients packing we often don't have a choice. We adapt. It's the nature of freelancing and it's tough at times. Right now I'm working my butt of as clients fly at me left, right and centre. It's tough work, long hours, but heck, it beats the alternative and in the end I'll come up trumps because I'm one step closer to my ultimate dream - more on that in a post at some stage. Just keep on going... if the passion is strong enough you will come up trumps in the long term. @ George: I’m glad you stuck it out so far. Look what you’ve made of yourself in the online world! :)
