I have credit lines but no luck in finding any freelance help with what I need done right the first time.

Any suggestions are appreciated

I have all of the ideas moving forward but I only have 2 hands and 1 brain.

A also believe in Union Breaks and FMLA etc...

Well, you're the one hiring nonprofessional translators for disgraceful rates and thinking you're going to pay your neighbors in beer to check their work. That should tell you something right there. Maybe you need to get some basic business training before you move forward. When it comes to finding freelancers, the cheapest route is rarely the best.

Is this your job or your own business? In your other post you said this:

"I work for a book publishing company related to the Construction Industry. "

It's hard for us to help if you're not clear about your situation. Do you work full time for this company?

Just like above, you say you only have two hands but then you talk about FMLA and Union Breaks? That suggests that your company is established with several employees. If that's true, your issue is one of business planning and delegating.

freelance help with what?

you dont have to believe in FLMA, its the law. im not sure what you mean by "union breaks" if you are a sole proprietor looking to get freelancers to help.

i wish you luck but im concerned about you. like the other person said, more detail would make it easier to give a better recommendation.

we use freelancers for web stuff (web site/pay per click/lead generation, etc.) and getting it right the first time is a dream. you try to make smart choices and get a little better each time.

I used to work in the Union Local IBEW 465. As of now, I have acquired this book publishing construction company, I work from home with zero employees. The work is tedious, but a fun business to have acquired. I feel very Blessed.
I also co own commercial property with my sibling under prop 13 near my home town of Agoura Hills.


Tired now, good night City Data

so if you dont have employees, you dont have to worry about FMLA or union breaks. when you get employees you can start thinking about how generous you want to be.
