Shameless plug
I’ve officially been published. With a subscriber count of over 30k, Freelance Switch is one of the largest Freelancer websites and communities on the web. Yesterday I received notice that an article I had written for them had been green-lighted and published to the site. Being both fan and subscriber to the site I was excited to see it happen.
If you have a couple of minutes I’d appreciate you take the time to head over to Freelance Switch and read the article: http://freelanceswitch.com/freelancing-essentials/what-ive-learned-about-freelancing-from-my-13-month-old-son/
One thing I would ask, I love feedback and comments but to ever have a chance of writing again I would prefer any responses left there be kept professional. Singling me out as your neighbor, cousin or son followed by “whoo hoo, I knew you could do it” or “you got ‘er dun” would seriously restrict my chances of ever writing for someone else again. Similarly, if you’ve ever acted in a similar fashion in front of your kids and their friends in any situation, you should be reprimanded.
I suppose it would be more appropriate to leave a comment on FS, but I noticed there were no comments here. I thought the post was equally excellent and helpful. As a dad-to-be considering making the freelance jump your post was quite topical for me.
Thanks for your insight, and I look forward to reading more from you.
Eric,
Thanks for the note and the kind words. Congrats on the upcoming birth of your first, great times all around. Good luck also with the decision to step out on your own. It can be challenging at times but also greatly rewarding.
I would point out that my life is made 100 times easier with the love and support of a great spouse as well in both my work life and family life. She’s the one that really makes it all happen!
Read it and loved it! Well done and congratulations!
