<div dir="ltr">A good friend of mine did this writeup. It's a few years old, but I think the advice is still sound: <a href="https://righteousit.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/consulting-part-1-the-case-for-consulting/">https://righteousit.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/consulting-part-1-the-case-for-consulting/</a></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 10:48 AM, Mike Bean <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:beandaemon@gmail.com" target="_blank">beandaemon@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hey, so I'll keep the story short so I don't spam the mailing list. I've been doing allot of soul-searching lately about the idea of freelancing - starting a business. Don't misunderstand me, I'm quite aware that it's not an easy road, and I'm also aware that the odds are astronomically stacked against me, so it damn sure better well be something that I enjoy. <br><br>Whilst contemplating the enormity of the mountain before me, it occurred to me that the clue list might have some entrepreneurs willing to dispense advice. If that's the case, please email me off the mailing list and we can chat. (this isn't a linux topic) I need to get some idea of where or how to start, and I've had people tell me it's easy as filing the right paperwork, but I don't believe that for a second. In either case, I'm a huge believer in the value of experience, and as I have none in the self-employed world, I am attempting to seek out others who do = )<br><br></div>Mike B<br></div>
