"In my experience," I told her, "freelancers try to do 50 things, and they end up doing a 5% job on each of them." That's the kind of math I expect from a site called Free Money Finance.

Not necessarily concurrently?

Well maybe if more freelancers used Erlang, this wouldn't be an issue

Each of the 50 things could be done to a 100%. They only do 5% of the 100% necessary for each thing. That's what I think he means.

I also appreciated the advice, though I got some cold chills reading it. For example: Today I'm making business cards for a networking event tomorrow. Oops. But I need exposure! I do...really!

Before you go! What are you going to say at the networking event? http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/03/15-second-marketing...

Sorry, I just got back. Your link is great. I think for me the practice of standing there having to come out with it was invaluable. Amazing how you have it all in there, but sometimes it comes out like shit through a goose and sometimes it just comes out...well. You know. Anyway. I talked and talked, listened and listened, and learned a lot. Incidentally, there was a company pitching called eighty/twenty! Not my company, but very cool just the same.
