I totally agree about "know" what you want. My experience as a freelancer essentially got me into marketing because often, my clients did not have a clear idea about why they wanted a video, and therefore I would not know what kind or techniques would be best. So I ended up doing interviews and creative briefs and proposals that were practically marketing strategy. That's when I realized I was a marketer. I believe that in marketing and lots of "life" we are more comfortable to start in on the "how" before we have even thought through and tested the "why" and "what". Sorry about the above post!?

That is a key point I try to stress to anyone--know what you want before you try to engage a freelancer or other resource. Or else you risk wasting time and money and not getting the results you need. Pete, you are correct.
