"For stability I had money in my savings, I substitute teach, I don't burn bridges, I have retainer clients, and have an LLC"- @tessajcoop @teacherJLK @Kathryn_Milla

"Don't burn bridges when you leave a job." Great advice for future connections.

@tessajcoop recommends having four-five months of savings before leaving your job and becoming freelance.

A down side to freelancing can be lack of human interaction. Consider getting to know a photographer or share a work space with another freelancer. @tessajcoop @teacherJLK @CDuenckel
