Sailing Performance and Freelance Business?
Sometimes you see something so simple and you whack your head.
High Performance = (Skill + Commitment) - Distraction
As I was reading about the US Sailing Team's major advances this little formula in the article caught my eye.

Freelancing and Some Thoughts
I came across a Wall Street Journal article this morning on solo consultants.
The key points:
- Think long term
Many start it out as short term temporary fill-in-the-gap measure. To be successful you need to think about it as permanent. - Join a network
Survival means marketing and one of the best and most natural is networking. Be connected - Have your own space
Babies crying, dogs barking, etc. These are unprofessional not to mention the need to manage interuptions. - Think like an entrepreneur
Business plan, goals, mission statement. Be innovative and track/manage what you do.
So this is a good list. How am I doing as a Freelancer?
