Industry Insights Holiday Edition: Taking a proactive (and not reactionary) approach to freelancing during the holiday season

There's a great irony to life as a freelancer -- we say we do it to have flexible schedules and work on our own terms. However, if you find yourself having too much free time...you get really nervous. And your bank account is probably going to be feeling that anxiety, as well.

So, what happens during the holiday season, when an already tenuous industry is in a period of slow down and for most of us, there's just not that much work to do?

Well, we stand the risk of getting lost in our own head (a stressful, scary place, I can tell you from my own personal experience), and then we embrace that lapse in our schedule by taking a proactive approach (and not a reactionary approach) to the holiday season.
