I don't think we should stay alone.<p>I have been doing this mistake for too long to be honest. Now one of the best focus I've is literally speaking with the client directly and having a bunch of people who do not specifically work on the project but follow me in my adventure by coaching me.<p>I can't remember the article, but I read somewhere on HN that a good way to start being a consultant in the tech world is to stop selling your code.<p>I figured that it is just the same going from TMA to SASS except you are now renting the code instead of selling it.<p>So:<p><pre><code> - Learning new things
- Thrive for the ability to put into question anything properly
- Getting people around that understand what you are trying to do (CUT down those that are toxic, not those that might just have a different opinion, this is the hard part where you need to be able to put your ego aside and where picking the right persons will help a lot)
- Go meet your clients !
- Do not follow trends</code></pre>
