Research for the videographers guide to full-time freelance

These are some questions for me to better understand what is holding videographers back as well as their
daily struggles trying to transition to doing video full-time.
I am trying to make the quickest and easiest guide anyone can follow to go from working a job full time, living
with their family or at a flatshare - To doing video full time and having more time and flexibility to do what they
want. For this reason, I need to understand in detail what their situations are. To be as effective as possible
and ensure they can achieve their desired outcome. So please answer the questions as honestly as possible
and feel free to go into detail.

What is a specific quantifiable end goal that you would like to achieve in your videography career? Be
as specific as you possibly can.

things you’re doing that you no longer want to do. For some people this could be waking up early in the
morning, would be working for someone else, working every day, spending all their time in one city and not
being able to travel, etc.
