It was great -- while the boom lasted. Now I'm a freelancer with clients in multiple fields (no home builders at the moment!) and I feel MUCH more comfortable, because as you note, all my eggs are not all in one basket. I couldn't agree more with you. The insights of Peter Drucker are also behind the book <a href="http://www.ReinventYourEnterprise.com/" rel="nofollow"> Reinvent Your Enterprise</a> by Jack Berstrand. It focuses on helping people improve their companies faster by adopting the NEXT frontier of management: systematically improving the productivity of those who work with their brains, not their backs -- the "knowledge workers," so to speak. Lots of good info. (And the book is endorsed by the Drucker Institute.) At one time I worked with a very small firm handling marketing for new home builders. It was great — while the boom lasted.
