1. Cutting Commuting Reduces Traffic
Computer models suggest that for every additional three
per cent of workers who telecommute, traffic delays would
be reduced by 10 per cent.
So by changing your life and working from home, you are
not only helping yourself, you are helping the
environment, too.
With roads becoming ever more congested, it's easy to see
why so many people are choosing freelance careers - it
really is a better way to live.

5. Manage Your Expenses
If business is going well, it is tempting to spend more
and more money on business 'essentials'. But if you are
not careful, you can find these expenses mounting up.
A business expense is only justified if it really makes a
difference to your ability to earn revenues. Don't be
tempted to buy things because you would like to have
them, rather than because you need them.
Keep your expenses under control, and your profits will
remain high.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
