The way to do it is pretty simple really. You spend a few years living off savings or investments as you advertise yourself and undercut the competition to get a few landmark jobs, which you then use in networking and advertising.
I used the cash from a 4 year military contract (cushy job as a support lieutenant, foreign deployments for cash) to basically live off while also spending weekends excersizing as a reservist to sustain myself.
Being an entrepreneur gets a lot easier if you don't need a salary for over a year.
What you need to work out though is what you do, and what you don't. My biggest mistake was adapting to suit people's needs, so we ended up claiming to be specialised in everything.
We work property development, and since we advertised that we don't design, we don't build, we coordinate building and we don't work for governments, things have been much simpler since everybody knows what we do.
As opposed to a confusing "But we also do that, and also that and also that, and that"
