Absolutely. Agency work really helped me get started and it gives you
regular income whilst building up your client base. On top of that, working
on-site at lots of different places really is the place to make contacts.
I've never been one for all these business network meetings.

Also I don't think many of us would survive the cashflow if we were getting
paid months later. Just explain you're a freelancer / small business.
