2. Work in corporate development for large, medium, and small companies, startups, etc. for 20 years.
3. Keep skills sharp, keep investing in new opportunities.
4. Learn project management.
5. Dress up (in a suit, etc.)
6. Find people who want work done.
7. Figure out what they want to be done, how long it will take to do it, and how much is reasonable to charge for that.
8. Ship it.
8. Send invoices.
9. Cash very large checks.
Technology lets people who are very good with tools, make amazing things all by ourselves in the same time or less than a team of people who are average with tools in a cube farm.
I guess a simpler version of this would be:
1. Get very good at tools.
2. Get people who believe you can deliver.
3. Deliver.
4. Invoice.
If you do it right, you'll be time- and price-competitive with much larger, slower, and more-expensive entities, and nobody will care because you're still delivering. It's a time of great opportunity.
