One thing which really stood out for me was about focus. Trying too many things at once - write a blog, freelancing, create a source might pull you in so many directions that achieving the first dream might become difficult.
What really does interest me though is - talk about subcontractors. This is one aspect I have been struggling on a bit. how does one find good subcontractors or outsource work properly.

- thisisit 11y agoyea maybe but then if you look at his work, he does talk about sub-contracting, so does that make him an agency of sorts? Then where does freelancing come in. Just trying to understand that part.
- joelklettke 11y agoHappy to clear this up: I did subcontract a very small portion of work, which I did eliminate from the number I crunched. On the whole, it contributed less than $10,000 to the total, and as I mentioned, the time I invested trying to make it work actually made it such that I more or less came out even, but not at a profit. Right now, I'm handling all the work I'm sent personally. I do plan to scale up in the future, at which point, I don't think it would be fair to call myself "freelance" any more.
