You can tell a lot about someone from their posts. Trick 440 ... I don't think you're ready to go solo. I think you lack both the technical and business experience needed. I strongly recommend that you get some formal training in the trade, work for a real contractor, and see how things are done. Being an electrician, and running a business, are two separate trades.

A lot has been posted, in the past, about GC's. The short version: The GC is NOT your friend. Most of us do our best to never deal with one.

Finally, you really want to have the local inspectors at least neutral in their attitudes toward you. If they have the idea that you're a disaster waiting to happen, you'll have them counting screw threads. If nothing else, consider every objection a cheap lesson.
