Mr Ploppy, I too have done a far bit of freelance work over the years, it was more the new emerging folk who don't have our years of reputation and referral to get the phone ringing I was talknig about. Moving into an emerging market, which is really still pretty much unknown terratory, isn't easy. Going freelance in a role that already has an established sector/ market can be a daunting enough step at first, but to set out into an evolving industry, such as we are discussing, with a fluid business model and constantly having to adapt your processes, that's a brave step. The difference between crazy & laudible is only measuarable by success or failure.
I don't think we were just that speculative in our approach, or perhaps my broad mind and narrow waist have just switched places over the years.
But I'm sure you must also have experienced the quiet periods and hours of head scrathing trying to figure out ways to get new business to keep you busy mon-fri 9-5.
Perhaps that should be 25hrs-a-day 8 days a week.

What do you mean, the boy's going to college? He's only nine...isn't he?"
But anyway, I'm going to declare myself...
