I don't have long term self employment experience. My guess is that you'll give up a lot of freedom, the ability to pick and choose the things you want to work on and who you want to work for, and you'll gain the ability to focus on one part of the business instead of the marketing/sales/bookkeeping and have a much better idea of what your finances will look like over the next 1, 2, 6, 12 months. Here are a few things off the top of my head:
1) Find a shorter term contract gig with one company. This might give you the option to try something on for a bit without making a long term commitment. If you like it, and it's a to-hire situation, you can stick around.
2) Find a remote job that still gives you the at-home time and schedule flexibility that (I'm assuming) you are accustomed to.
3) Depending on where you are and what you decide to do, keep in mind that you can always bail and go back to self employment if you think it sucks.
