I suppose making time for this has to be a high priority--if all my hours outside of work are used by spending quality time with my wife and time with church, family gatherings, friends, parenting, and other hobbies, there won't be time to freelance, right?

I think that's really the key to it all right there. If you're focusing on the money, you'll be so short sighted you'll forget why you started doing these things and thinking this way in the first place. Rapidly testing, and trying to find the right thing for both you and your clients is a great approach and something that is working out well for me. Doing little experiments makes it fun too and you get to see results straight up instead of (if you focus on the money) waiting months for your first dollar to roll into your paypal account. “if you want to earn money for bigger reasons — more important reasons — that vision can get you through challenging times.”

Seeing the “live case-studies” sparked a different way of thinking about my own skills. I liked the learning by example aspect in addition to the applying principles approach of the post. Since I’m new to the site, can you review how to attend these sessions in the future? Thanks! (sorry for the mispost on the other article) This video was really helpful.

If you're providing a quality service to people or businesses you deserve the pay. Position the effort as a means to a higher end than just money is the one that gets me moving toward goals much more than any other.

I think you are right that many people are getting into invention it self and result is out focus. I respect Stephen Key approach “ invent right” – it is most time efficient IMHO. I appreciate your feedback on my website idea. I live in US and travel to Europe 3 times a year (also lived in Paris) @Peter

I also think a great idea would to also stress that you're not here to teach them to write songs...or be the next john mayer. If they want to really learn guitar offer then some suggestions for books or dvds. But if they want to learn a song they've always wanted to play in a week and to impress their friends, family, girlfriend (this is where you throw that in) or some hot chick by picking up a guitar and playing a couple songs, you can help them do that. ^^ @vin

I just re-read that. Not an entire song, but a nice portion of a song at normal speed. ^ whoops. I just re-read that. Not an entire song, but a nice portion of a song at normal speed.
