Good advice I was more productive when I was a freelancer and the fear of not knowing where the next pay cheque was coming from meant you would work harder on sales and networking. You couldn't afford for clients not to have a reason to pay either so all work was completed to an excellent standard.
Unfortunately that fear has a lot to do with this as sitting in a job you can tend to cruise. I often employ proven freelancers as I know what they have been through and bring a higher work ethic to really prove themselves.
