The main drawback to freelancing is defining yourself as a &quot;$$ by the hour&quot; worker. It&#x27;s very common to do so, but it invariably leads to burnout. It&#x27;s not terribly hard to shift your mindset to do something different, but it&#x27;s not necessarily obvious how to do so.<p>The main things to do are:<p>- understand that recurring revenue is unsurpassed in terms of LTV of your customers.<p>- realize that it&#x27;s easy to become a world expert in an extremely narrow field<p>..then combine the two: what niche thing (much narrower than you&#x27;re thinking) can you become a world expert in and charge a recurring fee for?
