Steele Is Now A Full Time Freelancer

Free: Not obligated to work for any one company. No longer needing to show up and put in "face time" in a cubicle during set hours for no reason.

Lance: If the pen is mightier than the sword, the blog beats them both.

This marks the first week of my full time career as a freelance writer. I have lined up my clients, figured out my benefits, and even rented out some space in a real office building. My writing career is indeed taking off as I focus on travel, credit cards, and other aspects of personal finance.

On a personal note, this is really the fulfillment of a life long dream. I come from a family of people who generally own their own business or practice of some sort. Working for others has never been a great fit for me, and being my own boss gives me limitless possibilities for travel, recreation, and unscheduled slacking off. Or so it would seem as find myself working at 5 AM this morning.
