Thanks for the link.
Two podcasts I can highly recommend listening to are the Ruby Freelancers podcast (http://rubyfreelancers.com/) and the Business of Freelancing (http://businessoffreelancing.com/).
Another podcast that I have found deeply helpful is the EntreLeadership podcast by Chris Locurto, which is a follow-on to the business book written by Dave Ramsey. It's more focused on general business and leadership. So it takes a little more work to apply the principles to your freelance business, but it's very helpful as one thinks through the future when freelancing evolves into a business with a team and so forth.
I hope this helps!
I remember hearing that after you get a year or so of work and networking under your belt, it mostly just flows. And I didn't really believe it a year ago, but now I see it. All the people I've met from hackathons to the accelerator program to random events, it all adds up later and I get approached for work a good bit now.

When you say 'work' is this freelancing work, or work as an employee at a company? If its freelancing work, how do you find enough to keep you busy during the 1st year?
All this kind of happened passively over the last year or so though. I'm not sure what I'd do if I had to bootstrap this more quickly.

It's not a bad arrangement at the start, since you probably need money and are willing to work for it. Sometimes with those projects I work a lot at the start, then do maintenance work for 1-2 days a month later on.
There are many possible business arrangements.
