This is Question 8 of my 10 part series on 10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Becoming a Full Time Freelancer.
Do You Have a Back up Plan in Place?
To be honest; when it comes to freelancing you shouldn't be thinking like this. It should be all or nothing! It should be about pouring your heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears into it! Quite simply this is the best option rather than being half cocked about it.
Although you may find you're able to do it in your stride and it's not like you're beating rocks outside while chained to the guy next to you type of hard work. You're basically sitting down in the comfort of your own home or office space or even on the beach maybe!
But that said, it's still good to think logically and sensibly and think ahead! Maybe you don't have what it takes or you give up too easily. So if you do have a contingency backup plan in place, then at least that way if you do decide it's not for you or it's not happening for whatever reason, you can have something to fall back on.
But don't not do it unless you have a way out! If you are thinking like that then you wont make it! You will backslide and give up easier and nobody that succeed ever gave up!
And just like Thomas Edison said; you will find success eventually. Until then just keep moving forward!
And that ladies and gentlemen completes our 10 part series on 10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Becoming a Full Time Freelancer.

That lasted for about half a year or so before I moved to a different city 45 minutes so I had to basically quit. That is a long story though which I will not get into now. Presently I do not have a backup plan as I believe I can make ends meet even if I don't sell scripts or freelance that often.
In the future I want to get my real estate license, do that full time and still freelance online. The housing market has it's ups and downs, and I'll use the down time to make money online to cover my needs. I am so close to meeting my goals both online and offline. I use to work full time and freelance. The full time job was at a office where I would take in inventory of products for a business that sold products online. I had my own office area, however it was in the merchandise area or the back room, pretty odd right? I had to constantly check how many products were going out, and coming in. It was nice a job I'll admit, as I was the one in control, sort of like an inventory manager.
