this is probably the most worthwhile response in the whole tread. From running GroupTalent I have seen the most successful freelancers (those pulling in over $100/hr) do these things:
1- hitch themselves to great growing clients
2- put their clients feeling much ahead of their own
3- deliver value over and beyond what is expected
clients do not need highly paid (senior, architects, etc.) devs all the time but when they do, they need a v good one. So whatever rate they are paying is worth it.
- j45 13y agoThanks for the kind words. 1- About hitching myself to great growing clients -- I think it's important to help them grow. In a way, either consulting pays for one's learning/growth, or VC funding can, or bootstrapping can. 2- According to some in my life, sometimes I treat my clients too well, to a fault. But clients have turned into friends, and a few even mentors.. 3- Delivering more value than what you're paid = your cost doesn't matter as much.
