It sounds like you are a successful freelancer. What you are trying to become is a successful business owner.
You need to hire a couple people to write code, and start selling full time. This is where things get hard. I haven't made it work correctly yet either. Good luck!
- davemel37 12y agoThis is the reason the EMyth was written - to help freelancers become entrepreneurs. Read it if you have the time.
- rday 12y agoIs this emyth.com? Or the book on Amazon, or is there a relation between the two? Edit: Wow. In the small sample on Audible this guy already mentions something I've seen over and over with the clients I work with. When you start your company you go from employee to business owner. But your mind stays in employee mode. You keep doing your job just like an employee. You get over worked (those 80 hour weeks) and never thrive. Everything you do needs to involve building a process to hand off to someone else. Otherwise you are simply substituting a 40 hour work week for an 80 hour work week.

One of the best books out there on how to build and grow a business.
- jseliger 12y agoEverything you do needs to involve building a process to hand off to someone else Derek Sivers also discusses this issue in Anything You Want (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936719118 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1936719118), which one of my favorite books, ever, and highly recommended.
