As a freelancer your best partners are other freelancers. Why? Simply cos they do whats best for you as a group and not what’s best for themselves.

If you have seen the movie A beautiful mind you know the nobel prize winning theory of governing dynamics by John Nash. Those apply to the team of freelancers.

In a group of people representing larger companies there will be hidden agendas that often risks or limits the overall outcome of the project.

Those people always represent other interests then the teams. If they cut the biggest part of the deal, snitches the majority of the development or management time it makes them look good in the large organisation backing them. Even if it’s negative for the team it will be positive for their own carrers. And the negative results of the team can always be blamed on the other team members. After the project is finished they can fall back on a salesforce in an organisation that falsely thinks of them as great team member.

As a freelancer the other team members is the people you will do your future sales with. They are the ones the will set you up in their future projects. If you fail them you have nothing to fall back on. So in a team of freelancers you and your fellow freelancers automatically do whats best for the group and the project and that is something your clients benefit from.
