    Barrier of Entry is something I can't control...yet.

    I agree with MJ. Use non-verbal communication as much as possible. If a customer wants a call, let them know your limitation up front. The focus is on the quality of work. Check out @SinisterLex 's thread about starting on and leaving Upwork. I believe it will be helpful...

    Implementing fastlane ideas to an old school industry

    IDEA 
    Map out each process from order to ship and then look for inefficiencies. Wasted time, wasted material, etc. Think about improvements, even if small. If there are 20 steps and and you find 1% savings in a few, that adds up.
