Now, this is to let you explore the nuances of what businesses can offer, and on getting to understand the difficulties/risks involved. 

In this regard, check out 5 advantages of turning freelancer entrepreneur, and starting small businesses:

Every entrepreneurial venture requires perfect implementation; the best way to master these techniques is in freelance mode wherein you have time on your hands (during projects) and can spare considerable time in interacting with experts on how to solve problems through effective strategy implementation.

In summary, freelance lets you perfect yourself as an entrepreneur; before you venture out into the full-time business.

Working freelance (in at least a part time business role) lets you potentially delve deeper into your projects whilst getting to explore newer aspects related to tasks you are working on. The best example here is freelance photography; you could get to shoot wildlife, humans, plants, and much more; thereby perfecting the art.

In the freelance mode, you would naturally be in a position to take time out to interact with like-minded people and experts; in multiple forms. These interactions could potentially put you in tune for bigger entreprenurial pursuits.

Freelancing lets you explore unconventional paths, even career paths thereby breaking away from conventional/fixed norms.

Freelancers generally tend to work with a free mind; compared to their regular peers. Hence, time management is a crucial learning that could potentially be derived from freelancing; and then expanding to full-time entrepreneurship.
