My advice to anyone and everyone in this business is to ALWAYS have your parachute packed. I've been laid off twice in 11 years, quit 3 jobs and got better offers while perfectly happy at other spots. You just never know wtf is going to happen on a given day. Keep your folio and resume up to date. It's good to have PDF with crucial info and a few projects in it.
If you're not a web designer/programmer and you're not in-person, social, conference goer then skip the business cards. They'll end up becoming a paper weight and your information will change as you figure out what you're doing.
Stay fresh, keep up with people and keep your eyes open for the next big opportunity.
