It's not a long term solution, but gets you progress. If you're looking for a technical co-founder they'll want to see that you can execute. You can even start building on your own :)

Demanding to get paid before doing any work is beneficial to both parties. It shows that you're both serious about executing on the project. And it doesn't contradict anything because now you care about the success of the engagement. Not th

I only work with clients that know what my value is. They never have a problem paying me to make their business a lot more money. In fact they love paying me for that because I'm very business goal oriented. I am obsessed with making busine
