I've endeavored over the years to pack my work time into shorter and shorter segments, but I still have to spend time pitching articles and locating new clients. The upside to working for myself is that I eliminate all the wasted time of office life, but the downside is that I can let work bleed into other parts of my life. I prefer my work life to be separate from my private life. One key to minimizing work hours for the self-employed and freelancers is to charge more for their time. By setting a minimum wage for myself (either by the word or by the hour), I was able to stop pitching for time-wasting gigs.

And you're right - it takes a lot of trust building with your client base to eventually take off and have them remain with you.
