50 reasons why you will not make it as a freelancer I enjoyed writing this post, and I was happy that it caused designers trying to succeed to look at themselves a bit, and really understand why they may or may not be failing at becoming a freelancer. The post title was inspired by a close friend of mine who just doesn’t understand what it takes to become a self-employed designer.

They have a lot of creativity and art skill, but struggle to apply that to the business / marketing world. Brian Yerkes
