"Im tired of doing work for clients"
A business by definition means that you will have to deal with clients. Sure, it could be a product or service or a mix of both but you can never get rid of clients. Otherwise you have no business.
The only exceptions are the types where you run a profitable blog, online courses, ads and make money through those but even they require dealing with your clients at times (e.g. buyer of a course) but the interactions will be limited and much less demanding.

- bluehat 9y agoThe customer will always be right. The difference is with contractors is they lead the framing. With a startup, you lead the framing. But customers are always going to have dumb ideas, and you generally don't get to tell them to completely fuck themselves.

- bhnmmhmd 9y agoAnother approach they use in strategic planning is this: Build great resources and capabilities in yourself that can be applied to a plethora of tasks, and then, try to find out which of those tasks are profitable for you. This is much like solving a problem you have - which turns out, other people have that problem as well.
