"So many developers think their craft is enough to succeed as a freelancer or consultant; the truth is quite the opposite."
Couldn't agree more. When you become a freelance developer, you are no longer ONLY a developer. You're customer service, sales, accounting, business development, and so much more. Coding is now a portion of what you do, not ALL you do.
I actually recently started matchist (http://matchist.com/talent) to take care of the "constantly finding clients" aspect that I remember from my days as a freelancer. We find you quality work that will pay you on time, every time (because we also facilitate the payment process).
