Ask HN: What mistakes did you make when starting as a consultant/freelancer? 549 by kartickv | 257 comments on Hacker News. What was the specific mistake, what did you learn from it, and how did you change the way you do business as a result?

What lessons did you learn the hard way? I'm setting up my own consulting practice: kartick.org and would like to learn from other people's mistakes rather than repeating them myself.
