I'd really been thinking about it all lately, and I will definitely be making some changes to how I operate. regarding time/book-keeping, i HIGHLY, HIGHLY suggest signing up with http://www.freeagentcentral.com You can do everything with it: create estimates, invoices, manage projects, track your time, keep all your client details, log expenses, see overall earnings (monthly or yearly), you can track which projects have been paid or have overdue invoices, etc. There is a small monthly fee, but its seriously worth it. You can actually make an account for your accountant to log in. There is just no way I would be able to take care of all that stuff on my own! Its what allows me to compare my hours to my actual earnings, without any math. YAY!I'd also love to know how many freelancers out there have written a business plan, and can anyone recommend a good online resource for creating one? Thanks!
