Realizing that you are going to make a good amount of income if you work for yourself instead of going to an office was the key for my survival.

I am still working for other people of course because someone has to pay you, but at least I am not some salary worker at an office 9-5 because lets be honest 9-5 means that you wake up AT LEAST an hour before, probably a lot more, I woke up nearly 3 hours before because it took me 1.5-2 hours of drive anyway, and before that I took my shower and get ready, so that means that I spent nearly 4 or so hours extra on that work, meaning 12 hours everyday. Realize that you can make a lot more working 12 hours on anything you want to do, and you will be much richer, that is what I did and thanks to freelancing, I am doing much better financially.
