I tried working as an independent contractor doing game programming and eventually running my own game development business working on games contracted by larger publishers. I eventually realized that wasn’t for me either. I gained the freedom of setting my own hours, but my publisher clients became my defacto bosses. I often had to adapt to their (frequently unwise) decisions, and my financial future was tied closely to theirs.

I know the entrepreneurial / passive income route isn’t for everyone. But the freedom aspect is really nice. You get to be in complete charge of your own time. You decide which projects to tackle. You can work whatever hours you want. You don’t have to ask permission from anyone for any decisions you make or actions you take. There’s just no substitute for holding the reins.

most jobs don’t directly link your personal productivity to actual bottom-line business results and pay you accordingly.

Responsibility and self-discipline give you the freedom to be more spontaneous because you won’t risk abusing your freedom.
-
When you’ve got everything well organized, you’re in a good position to know when you can be freely spontaneous vs. when it would be irresponsible or reckless to do so.
