- Always think about where to get new clients and how to become better at what you do. Think what else can you offer to your clients besides what you can now.
- Find power partners. You should know a lot of people who belong to your industry, but not necessarily do the same thing as you do. For example, if you're a designer, do you know a professional photographer, printer, SEO specialist, high end programmer and illustrator?
- Network, socialize, tell people how good you are. Think where your client may be and go there.
- Create To-Do lists every day. Include there every little detail, like "do laundry" or "replace a light bulb".
- Always carry business cards with you. Don't forget to re-order. Count how many business cards you give out every week. Is it enough?
- Always be on top of technology. Know what comes out before it's actually spread out.
- Don't forget to take a good care of yourself. Go to the GYM as often as you can. Don't eat in front of the computer. Look healthy, be healthy, think healthy.
- If you're getting busier, think of hiring a project manager.And as fusion said a lot of time - SAVE MONEY.
