Great point. I think it's very important to master the art of the “free agency.” (OK I just coined that last term, meaning… being an independent professional who has set up a virtual intra-dependant support system through smart out sourcing). Hope that makes sense…. This is a timely post! Thanks.

Agreed. It's all about eliminating low-value/high-time-investment activities. The video with Rob Granholm gets into it further, but I know you've seen that one.

Greg, it will absolutely give you a greater level of confidence with new clients, since you'll know you're able to handle and take on far more, even if it's outside your core skillset. Glad this helped.

I think the biggest issue holding most people back is how to actually automate the sales process. We've discussed this a bit on Skype and I have emailed over a few questions. I just wanted to reiterate that is the BIGGEST issue that most people have.

I've really only just took this on myself. It's an empowering mindset. The switch from freelancer to CEO (I think that might actually be a line from our video) is not much more than a few subtle changes in how you operate and how you think. It's creating a momentum that's poised for growth with my field, now to actually hit the ball, time to create.

Delegate, delegate, delegate! You're preaching the key that I base my businesses on. Any business owner, freelancer or otherwise, can benefit greatly from delegation.
