But only those would excel those who got technical support.

In the 3rd world you can live like a king for the money you could not afford to rent a garage in Europe and even less in the US.

The interesting thing in freelancing is that -you- have to do the work. If something goes wrong, it’s -your- fault, not someone else’s (unless of course your client has more than one freelancer/worker on the job)

The sad thing is -however- that it’s difficult to get started. It’s quite the handful to get your first couple of jobs, and low prices is one of the clues in there (Too low to be honest)
After a while, things just grow steadily. (I’m actually talking about websites that offer people to put their jobs on there, with multiple people bidding)

The positive part of it now: I’m way happier now, even though I had little business experience, I’ve learned loads and loads of stuff. Freelancing is a way for me to go above and beyond, I like to take jobs that are truly challenging to me. I love my job, and my job loves me :)

You’ll have to ask them. Mike only reported on it.
