Great article! I found this just as I made a decision to start developing my own freelance business (a urban gardening and farming consultancy) in a more directed and effective way; I will definitely try out some of the tips you listed (that I am not already doing) in the near future!

By the way, I caught a proofreading error, so I thought you might want to correct it, if you get around to it: that don’t require met to think about work.
