Many of you have been in this situation before: you have your workweek all planned out, you know exactly what you’re going to do and exactly when you’re going to do it. Everything is going right according to plan.
Or, so you thought.
Suddenly and without warning, a single event can change everything. Before you know it your entire week is turned upside down. What you thought you could do when you planned your week is no longer be possible.
It really doesn’t even matter what the event is. Many things can go wrong when you freelance. Here are just a few:
- You could receive an urgent phone call from a sick friend or relative
- The power and/or internet connect go out
- You could wake up in the morning as sick as a dog
- An accident could damage your car, your home, or (heaven forbid) you
- Your computer could suddenly quit working
You name it, and it’s possible (and even likely) that something will eventually go wrong and mess up your plans. I’m sure that you can think of disruptive events that aren’t even on my list.
This is where a backup plan comes in.
