In 1995, after 11 years with a company and 20 years in the field, I was downsized and “went out on my own,” as working independently can be euphemistically described. In 2015, I will have worked 20 years this way. This session describes my myriad experiences: why and how clients came and went; how to deal with inconsistent workloads, work flows, and payments; how to handle the hassles that take much more time than they should, etc., etc., etc. At this point, I have no desire to ever be a “captive employee” again. Come to this session if you think you might like to work this way–or if you already are and want to share your experiences. Who should attend this session? Everyone
