1. The future is bright.
For companies, it's enormously convenient to hire a person for the job and don't have to employ him full-time.
The future of work is in the cloud-based gig-economy (imo).
And as a freelancer, you will be well-positioned for both the future and now.

2. Network as a side product.
Freelancers work in teams.
The famous "Hollywood model" refers to the fact that Hollywood consists of many independent professionals who know and work with each other.
As a freelancer, you work in a similar way.
Team up with the right people.

3. You pay for flexibility and independence in growth.
The freelance life forces you to:
- Learn
- Improve
- Grow
Otherwise, the market won't care about you after some time.
If you hate stereotypes the chances are you will love freelancing.

4. What seems like time selling, maybe a productizing of yourself.
Yes, you renting up your time.
But you also:
- building a network
- can build a business around you
- can work for a % share
If you want to get rich starting with freelancing makes great sense.

5. Skin in the game.
Nobody will employ you if you cost him more than you earn him.
— but in normal work settings, a lot of people who costs more than earns are somehow hidden.
Not in a freelance world.
This pressure motivates you for the best results.

6. Freelancing as life insurance.
Being able to freelance usually means you:
1. have a high-income skill
2. can sell it
Whatever happens in your life this duo won't let you down.
Ever.

7. Human, not financial capital.
You don't need (almost) any financial capital to start.
Yes, you need the capital in form of:
- Time
- Skill
- Opportunity cost
But not a financial one.
The entry barrier (risk) is low and the upside is huge.
