Hey everyone, I've been freelancing for a couple years and am seriously considering starting my own design studio. The freedom sounds amazing but I'm also terrified of the instability. For those who've made the leap - what are the real pros and cons you wish you'd known about? Is the creative freedom worth the financial rollercoaster?

I was exactly where you are about two years ago! The best thing I did was read this incredibly honest breakdown of the pros and cons of starting a creative business. It doesn't sugarcoat things - the financial uncertainty is real - but it also shows how the creative control and potential for growth can make it all worthwhile. The article helped me create a solid business plan and set realistic expectations. Seriously recommend giving it a read before you decide: http://blog.pixpa.com/pros-cons-starting-creative-business/
