Yes, I found out that I don't work as well with "bosses" as I work with "customers" :D

Good for you! What kind of freelancing and how long? I know of many who burned out, and I'm borderline there myself since I hadn't developed a passive lead stream.

I only work about 6-8 months a year.

Mostly greenfield projects that take multiple months for startups. ("We need an MVP, but have no idea about technology, so do what you see fit")
