Networking has been really powerful. Most of my work has come from former employers, and I’ve found that online groups and forums have been brilliant at providing contacts and recommendations.
What’s not working is stopping working – I find it hard to close the office door, so next step is to stick to working hours and stop answering the phone to clients outside of this time!

The good thing about running your own email server is you can email ban the spam recruiters. I keep contemplating publishing a list like Chris Anderson of Wired did with PR people. In the end I wrote a “note to recruiters” and linked to it from my resume – see my link for this comment. It seems to have helped a lot and I have also had quite a few people comment on it being exactly what is needed
