Good business Tip > Don’t give away good ideas on public sites:)

I didn’t mean to steal ideas. :slight_smile: . just thought of getting a guide to kick the paddle not to go wide. I always trust the guide of experts who are already in the field.

No i meant. Your ideas lol :slight_smile: People might steal them :slight_smile:

I’d suggest working for an IT firm for a while before striking out on your own. That way, you’ll get a feel for what it’s like and a better sense of the transition from in-house to consultant.

I have been working for an global IT company for more than 6 years as a 3rd line network engineer. Off time I was tried providing support to customers and got successful. now I have decent customer base. So thought of focusing on that and wanted to improve the client base to start in my own way.Now looking to be a full time freelancer.
