Just following up on book link please
May I ask how did you join this forum, and registering it without even considering the time to look any information like the

exact words:
When I worked for Walmart corporate, they forced us to take the "but" thinking out of our vocabulary.
What inevitably follows the "but" is a reason why something can't happen.
"But they had an edge..."
"But it snowed last week and that's why sales are down"
"But I don't have the capital"
"But I work full time"
"But he was born into money"
"But I've never done that before"
"But they've been doing this for 20 years"
"But they have first market movers advantage"
"But that would be a lot of work"
"But I am not sure how to do that"
"But they got lucky"
What if the founder of Walmart had said "I want to do this but KMart is already doing it..." because they were.
This is taken from one of the most greatest thread ever written on this forum entitled,
Think Big, And Then Think Bigger Than That. If you click on that link you'll see "GOLD" tag which means it's a MUST READ thread.
I am not in hurry i can give myself time of 1 year to stick with plan, can someone also guide me what should be my next 6 months plan to start this website design and development business with my own freelance team.
"Not in a hurry" is a sin. Why?
You are not the only one doing web design on earth.
You are not the only one who are connected to the World Wide Web with coding skills and abilities (plus a team of freelancers).
In other words, you have more than one competitor(s). Someone who might be a solo web designer can 'steal' your customers. As Mark Cuban said:
Would you like to play a game called Eat Your Lunch? We are going to face off. My ability to execute an idea vs. yours. My ability to subvert your your business vs. your ability to keep it going. My ability to create ways to remove any reason for your business to exist vs. your ability to do the same to me. My ability to know what you are going to do before you do it vs. you , er, doing it! Who gets there first?
In the book Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson, Isaacson wrote the chapter, Musk's Rules for Rocket Building. He said one of the rule "was good for its own sake. It made his engineers engage in first-principles thinking." The rule which Musk repeatedly said was:
Have a maniacal sense of urgency.
Guess why he's a billionaire? And if you have no idea what first-principle thinking is this article might help.
The Cook and the Chef: Musk's Secret Sauce. You can use Google, btw. But the depth of meaning of first-principle thinking won't capture the full meaning of it without some context.
Since you are interested in starting a web design and development, I am going to point you to a thread that has landed me my first client in web design (told ya, you're not alone!).
How To Learn Code, Start A Web Company, $15k+ Per Month Within 9 Months
Since this thread was written, the O.P. has written a book and set up a course which are all related to web design.
So, you still can't start? What about
if you already know enough and
who have you helped?
