To add/reinforce the other posters:
0) talent - you have this or you aren't freelancing
1) contacts - you need at least one. It can be a former employer, an agency you've worked with, etc. You need one source of work. If you don't have that, then you have to be a hell of a marketeer (for yourself).
2) accountant - otherwise you will be suffering at tax time. You never pay for a good accountant. Find one that knows how to deal with freelancers.
3) contacts - you need more. Don't burn bridges[0]. Clients can be really rough, but work through it. Freelancers don't get alot of respect. But we get to make our own schedules, so it all comes out in the end.[0] - unless it's CPB. Burn that bridge. Actually, dust that bridge with thermite before you cross it and strike up the magnesium. But I may be biased.
