For many freelancers and contractors times are still tough, but 2010 does offer opportunities for growth now that the recession is over. The question is: **how to take advantage?**
A new website for entrepreneurs has put together a 7 point plan to do just that. Rags to Wreckages… to Riches has produced several short video clips which show how successful entrepreneurs are gearing up for the future in a still struggling economy.
### Business strategy advice
The first part of the 7-point plan talks how to deal with bad credit terms and the getting to grips with the ‘new economic reality.’ But of particular interest to freelancers is the fourth part of the series which discusses the importance of a flexible workforce.

The whole ethos behind the site is that many successful entrepreneurs learn their most important lessons from their own failures.
Rags to Wreckages is published by media entrepreneur and business leader, Neil Lewis, he says: “As business leaders, we are living in difficult times – we have less cash and fewer resources, but have the same need to grow. Added to that, we know that government cuts to spending are inevitable and will impact at least some of our customers if not our businesses directly. Surviving is all about flexibility and speed.
