I basically started through sheer blind luck. Was doing work on the side to support my addiction to tech toys and eventually it got to the point that I was working more than 40 hours on the side so I went solo. My biggest breaks came when I answered an ad for a two contract for a company in Boston. It's been 6 years and still going strong. Since then it's been word of mouth and networking, although I am interviewing a sales person next week (see next post). Now my little company is 4 strong and potentially adding 3 new employees this year.

UNC released my contract yesterday afternoon due to budget constraints and lack of available work. My question is for the folks on the list who are working for themselves. how did you get started? What does it take to generate enough income to live on?
