There are aspects of freelancing that are appealing and make it a great work model to be involved in. It is also a great opportunity for professionals in midlife either as a side hustle or a second career. Eventually it may turn into a full time endeavor.

The problem that many people make to begin with is that their home office is not really a home office. At least that is to say that they don't treat it like a genuine home office. Rather than kitting this space out with the correct professional grade furniture and technology, many people will simply keep the furniture they already have in there and essentially they'll be working out of a home study or the like. This might be a nice space, but it is not going to be as conducive to work as a real home office.
