It's probably the number one concern for independents - how do you find work? And once you start finding enough work to pay the bills - how do you find work that you are actually excited about?
There are many ways to do this but for my own work they hinge on the notion of networks. How do you build these networks? Where do leads come from? Is it all random?
All of this is what I address in my latest post
Strange Attraction:
Yes, I might have gone off the deep end with the analogies (chaos theory, seagulls etc) but hopefully this helps make the piece enjoyable.
As I mention in the piece though - there are a million different ways to think about generating leads because there are a million different types of independent consulting work (and consultants!).
