Making $100k as an Employee versus Being Self-Employed
The author hasn&#x27;t accounted for the unpaid time freelancers have to spend looking for work. Clients don&#x27;t just fall from the sky. You should be budgeting 15% of your time <i>at least</i> to just looking for the next job, meeting with potential clients, doing marketing things like social media, blogging, going to events etc. At the start, before you have a bank of regular clients, that can account for anything up to 100% of your time (if you don&#x27;t have any work in).<p>The reality is that you need to be making $140k at $70&#x2F;hour to earn $100k, but you <i>also</i> have to invest about another day&#x27;s worth of unpaid hours every week to maintain that income.
