I think there's a bit of a misrepresentation or misconception about how much freedom one has when working on their on, either as a freelancer, sole-trader, or even small studio. There's not as much crap coming down the line from the *boss* or other team mates but all the unglamorous bits, bookkeeping, cleaning, etc, generally fall on your shoulders in the beginning. First in, last out, and all of that.
When you work for somebody else if the hit shits the fan you can always pass it off on somebody, or at least duck behind a desk. When it's your boat, and a client's angry man-o-man, there's nowhere to hide!
With all the added freedom comes added responsibility!
Best of luck if you decide to go for it — it is worth the hard work.
