1. You must have a good duplicatable system and a solid business plan to follow.
2. You need to meet clients demands as quickly as possible this includes trends such as hot new promo materials, new technology etc...
3. Spend only what you need to and nothing more. On your good months save incase you ever have a few bad ones.
4. If you work from home or are not on a schedule at the office start one, just cause you don't have a boss doesn't mean you can sleep in all day. I missed out on a lot of big business moves when I used to wake up at 10:00am everyday. You know what they say... the early bird catches the worm and that is so true.
5. Be accessible, give out your cell number, office number, e-mail, icq, aim, etc... and don't ignore those damn calls. I know people that suck in their industry but they still got lots of business because you know they will ALWAYS be around when you need something from them, nothing is worse than someone that vanishes for a few days at a time when you really need them.
6. Network like a god damn mutha fucka, build those relationships and cherish them. I am where I am today because of maybe 2-3 people I have met in my life.
7. Take care of your clients, you need them to survive, once they leave you might not ever be able to replace them.
8. Spend as much time as you can on marketing, you can never have too much marketing, NEVER!!!
