After a few minutes, you are found mumbling to yourself-
“How about freelancing and establishing your own WordPress web Development business (as if it was a cakewalk!)?”

Clients at workplace vs. work at home clients:
Can you think of a client that would ever give it a thought that you ease and doze and live at home to do your work. Or…you work at a corporate office in a very tight schedule hectic pressure-ridden environment?
No!
A client is a client. You have got him with much efforts and you can’t let him go…Can you?
So, forget about the vacation type environment at home when a client is awake and online. More so, when he is very much eager to hear about the project progress so that he can have a sound sleep.
What about your sound sleep? You and your team may be working on the WordPress web development website and thus, you can’t sleep. Even when it’s time to sleep. Take our word for it.
One thing is for sure. You can’t think of having a vacation even if you work at home. You know about the deadlines and urgent project deliveries. Remember, a client is a client. Whether it’s a client at your workplace or work at home. Clients are impatient to the extent that they will not let you sleep until you sacrifice all your sleep.

“Sometimes, it’s all about risking everything for the dream no one else but you see.”
This seems to be very much motivational and true. Isn’t it?

Own your time and get paid for every microsecond you have worked for your client.

● Try to save time as much possible:
You have to think upon saving time when it comes to freelancing because you have taken this decision just to save your time for a lot of other things. If you can’t do this, then it’s better off with working with a corporate than your own WordPress web development company.
