As a professional makeup artist I have the opportunity to pick and choose what jobs to take. Sometimes I work as a freelance for any company that needs an extra hand for an event. Unfortunately when working for these companies you have to wait at least 3 weeks for a paycheck. Apparently 3 weeks is an ok amount of time to wait but as I look at my calender I realized that I've been waiting for 5 weeks. I'm sure eventually I'll get paid but this isn't acceptable.
What's the point of working as a freelance if you don't reap any rewards for what feels like too long?
My suggestion is to really think about what it is you want for yourself. Don't rely on your freelance pay to live make sure you have a plan B. When your in business for yourself it's probably best to have plans C - Z ready. You never know when you'll need that extra plan.
