• Don’t spend money on equipment you don’t need or can’t afford
• Don’t get ahead of yourself
• Building a business takes time and a lot of self confidence

One of the things that I’ve been frustrated from the beginning is the rate at which I am able to get work done. With multiple client projects on the go, building our online presence whenever , and side projects filling up my spare time I’m never able to complete one project fully as fast as I’d like to.

• Sometimes your competitors are your best friends

Starting up in the service world we’re often stuck as individuals trying to provide services that require skills from multiple areas. It’s hard to be an expert at everything. Teaming up with your competitors can compliment the work you’re able to provide for your clients by becoming a resource for skilled work in areas you’re not a professional in.

Your competitors will often view you the same if you have strong skills in a given area. Look for a company that you feel could use your skills and approach them. The worst they can say is no.
