In this session we talked about subcontracting, interviewing, qualifying opportunities, relationships and much more…all leading to a stronger, more profitable business.

One point I didn’t touch on, but which I think is very cool is that scaling goes both up and down. When business slows, we can scale back down to a solo operation without killing our business. And then as things heat up, we can scale to meet those challenges.

Below are the slides from the presentation and additional links to resources I’ve found extremely useful over the years.

A big thanks to John and Nicole Wilker for another great 360Flex conference! And to everyone that braved my sessions, we had a lot of fun and hopefully took away something useful and encouraging.

The sessions were recorded. When those are made available I’ll post links.

Here are the slides from this session and additional links to resources I referenced.

360Flex is not just fast approaching, it is upon us! John Wilker has been posting speaker interviews leading up to next week’s conference and has evidently been saving the best for (near) last. Check out my interview here (yes, we removed the tips from the arrows…eventually).

In FDT’s apparent mission to take over the world, they have given me a FREE FDT Pure License to give away during my session “The Invaluable Freelance Flasher”. I’ll figure some random way to select the winner. Hint: sit near the front and participate.

Freelance business for Flash development is booming. I’m extremely excited to speak on this topic and share experiences and ideas with many of the brightest Flash platform developers around. So, when you need a break from nerding out at the code sessions (I’ll be there too), come check out my sessions.

You’ll be glad you did.

I’ve seen the slides.
