Don't do contracts through free-loading, cowboy agencies.
Work directly for clients, like a proper business would.
It's done wonders for me for the last 14 years!
HOW? I hear you ask. Well, if you have talent, a modicum of business sense and some interpersonal skills (rather than paper MSCEs etc.) then no problem.
A bit of cash to wine and dine doesn't go amiss.

Not today unfortunately...but took it to the extreme yesterday by working from bed ;-)
Nothing much going on so set messenger and email up to make a great big noise if someone tried to contact me - and had a bit of a kip ;-)

I'm actually in the pool that comes with the villa somewhere near Puerto Rico on Gran Canaria. Laptop wrapped in a transparent 'sharps' bag borrowed from a medical research project I was on many years ago for just this very purpose.
