The pandemic forced us to take a long, hard look at what’s important in our lives. With the absence of time-consuming tasks such as preparing for the workday and commuting to the office, people had the flexibility to focus on what mattered to them. As the world begins to open back up, many of us hesitate to give up this flexibility. A 2021 report uncovered that 40% of traditionally-employed American workers are considering a transition to self-employment in the next two years.
