At the end of your article you said to hit reply if you want to hear more, but I didn't see a reply button so maybe you meant post it here? I'd like an article about the transition from being an employee of a company to being a consultant. I've never been a consultant before and it's extremely intimidating to think about quitting my job. Did you/do others usually do this all at once, or is there a way to do it gradually? As gradual as possible, ideally. Does it make sense to have a weekly rate if you only work 2 hours a day after your day job?
