I was trying to point out that freelancing and other sorts of business are all different animals.

The article by James makes it sound like freelancing is a trap and you need a way to escape…and that you should evolve into another sort of business model. Well, if you want something different fine. But there’s nothing wrong with freelancing. Nor is there anything wrong with doing both.

What James is describing is being an “entrepreneur.” But most freelancers are “propreneurs.” That is, professionals who do something well and can earn good money for it. Most, in my experience, WANT to do the thing they do well, not escape from it.

To each his own. It’s great to have choices. But I see no reason to try to make comparisons as if one is good and one is bad. Try one. Try the other. Or try both.
