"I spent a single day getting over my mopey co-dependence on clients"
The end result, as best I can tell, is simply more consulting work. So, "shipping" is simply a break from clients with the side-effect of bringing more in.
If I was a potential client, that line above would really turn me off.
- ahoyhere 17y agoYou missed the part where I announced that I quit consulting and am living off the money made from: 1x SaaS web app, 1x self-published ebook, 2x 1-day in-person training workshops, 1x 2-day in-person training workshop (corporate training - yeehaw! Plus, of course, this course, which is part of a plan. I have three other web apps in various states of completion, as well as the plans for another technical info product. And I worked with a friend to ship a Mac app, although it's not making either of us any money. The other stuff has made a lot. I also earned money with a 3-hour teleconference on the lessons I've learned from my "year of hustle" That, my friend, is why it was called Year of Hustle. PS -- even if I were still doing client work, that'd be a good thing. Being co-dependent sucks for BOTH parties to a relationship. Everybody wants to date the driven person who does for themselves - and wants to hire them, too.
