I let the worry over my job security consume me for a moment before realizing I was luckier than most, says Richard Lechartier. He was able to continue working on my side business of freelancing, which was earning me more money than he was at my full-time job, while he tried to decide what he should do next. Richard Lechartier asked himself, Is it more likely that Ill push myself to do more or just keep working as a freelancer?
