buy this book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obido…
create templates for all of your forms (contracts, invoices, thank yous, letterhead, etc.)
grab a project management tool like http://www.basecamphq.com
document your finances down to every bottled water you buy on the way to meet a client...come tax time hire an accountant who works regularly with self-employed individuals...you should probably meet with someone like this before you begin to get some advice for how to keep all your records and what sorts of licenses etc. you will need in your city
partner with local freelancers in related fields so you can take on larger projects but still specialize in your strengths...it will save you lots of time and aggravation...
then word of mouth, pass out business cards and hustle your ass off
