My wife got laid off a few years back and started her freelance marketing business out of that. She loves it. She's really anti-meeting and bullshit and this allows her to just do her job (copywriting) 90% of the day. Maybe because her parents were small business owners, she is fine dealing with the small business busywork (quarterly taxes, business generation). Most of her business started with former coworkers who know she's good hiring her, and then that work expanding, and now her website has good SEO and she gets more offers than she can accept. Some of her other friends attempted freelancing but weren't able to get too much business or didn't like it for whatever reason. YMMV I guess. I always tell her she should start an agency (hire people beneath her) to make more money, but she hates agencies and is happy with how things are. Only downside is it's a little harder to make heaps of money this way, since she can only raise her rates so high.
