The future of work is freelance. And we will be happier for it. You will be happier for it. As a freelancer, you decide how to spend your time, what meaning your work will have, and you get to live your best life.
A proactive, flexible, and unconventional freelancer has the best shot of making it in this highly competitive world.
Do you hate your job? Do you dread going to work? Do spend eight hours or more each day trying to convince yourself that if you’re paying the bills, your current job is good enough?
Are you punching the clock for someone else and miserable doing it? Sure, you try to focus on the good. You try to be nice to people and even smile. But at the end of the workday, at the end of each week, you’re left emotionally drained and utterly unfulfilled. Your work doesn’t align with your strengths and maybe the company’s values don’t mesh with your own.
Maybe you’ve even drifted so far from your path that you need to make a complete 180. Something’s gotta give before you lose it and have a total breakdown. That was me. I was on the edge and my boss always wanted more. My boss would ask, “Can you work extra hours this week?” The next week he’d ask the same.
It was October 8, 2009. I got up, closed the door to my office, and sat back down. I did what any self-respecting 20-something would do. I called my mom.
“Mom, I’m done. I just can’t do this anymore. I have to quit.”

Early Reviews of “Flex the Freelance”
“I wish I had this book when I was starting to explore my first side business! ‘Flex the Freelance’ is an engaging, personable, and encouraging primer to quitting your day job. Terra’s story and lessons will resonate with people looking for a way out of their current job or wondering, ‘Why didn’t I start sooner?’ She gives you enough information to equip you to get started on your journey as you continue to learn.” – Bret Schwalb, UX Designer and Author of ‘Play to Innovate’
“Right from the start, Terra starts to educate. It puts the reader into the mindset and sets the tone for the book early on. Flex the Freelance is written in a very conversational way that resonates with me. I really appreciated the stories that were included.” – Alex Grant, Video Production Specialist
“I wish Terra Fletcher’s book Flex the Freelance: The Unconventional Guide to Quitting your Day Job was available when I quit my day job a few years back! I would have been more prepared and poised for success! It is a fun, interactive, informative and must-read for anyone thinking about going out on their own!” – Pam Schneider, CPA
“I LOVED it! It was delightfully engaging, thought-provoking, and relevant for today’s aspiring entrepreneur. I especially appreciated that you addressed many of the forks in the road of the entrepreneurial journey that many business books shy away from as you speak to the qualities of an entrepreneur and encourage vulnerability through unconventional personal identify and embrace to express one’s dreams and the reality and gift that fear and failure can be and you do this before you ever address the meat and potatoes of entrepreneurship…loved it!” – Michelle R. Madl-Soehren, Owner & Talent Architect at Atuni Group, LLC
