+1 for this - hungry mouths at home make a great motivator. If you are going to freelance or start a business, you have to be willing to fight your own worst self, which might mean finding coping techniques to overcome shyness or introversion. I'm very introverted and find networking events, etc very overwhelming, but I've spent years fighting through that to gain comfort in doing it. If you are going to be self-employed, you gotta be able to do things that hurt.
