    - get your website setup.
    even if its something pretty simple but illustrates what you can, and have, done. If you're not great on the tech side, get someone to help.

    - get some savings behind you!
    iits scary enough not knowing what your paypacket is at the end of each month. even more so if no pay = no food/life. never underestimate how much pressure this will relieve you of.

    - get some financial advice
    even if its speaking to others in your position who can help inform you of the basics like tax/accounting. save yourself a fright when you do your first tax return!

    - speak to people
    i've been incredibly lucky, in 2 years I've never had to ask/look for work, but have fostered relationships with friends/people i know. wether its people you have worked with in the past, went to uni with, family, friends , let everyone know you're available. word of mouth can be very powerful.

    - work hard!

    you'll be fine - good luck with it!!! drop me a line if you have any questions.
