One of the main drivers for starting my own business is a love of travel. I wanted to be able to work from any location and make my own hours. While I had previously dipped my toes into the waters of remote working, I still had to request time off from my traditional 9-5 in order to work in the morning and explore or relax on the beach in the afternoon.
Starting my own business allows me to serve my clients from anywhere in the world and still meet production deadlines.
In my opinion, having location and time freedom is better for my clients and me.
