Another marketing tactic that I was going to try this year is to send out a holiday card to former, current and potential clients. I hope this will help keep me in the back of their mind and the next project they have come up, they will contact me first. Great tips!

I wanted to stop by and check out your blog. It's great by the way! Thanks for finding me and adding me to your blogroll. I have added you to mine as well. It's so hard starting out as a freelancer and it is so important to have a support system. I'm finding a lot of help and support in the other freelancers I am meeting on and off line. We should definitely keep in touch. I don't have MSN, but I am on Twitter - RaeConover. Hi Janine!

I definitely think you're right. Times of upheaval and struggle can lead to major positive changes in our lives. It gives us the opportunity to do things we thought we couldn't before and forces us to be gutsy. I think one of the secrets to success is simply to stop playing it safe all the time...and begin to take chances. Thanks for your response Ed!

Glad to hear you found the message inspiring. Adversity = opportunity. That's because it makes us try harder, think longer, and take bolder actions. In fact, as sad as it is to see folks lose their homes and struggle financially, recessions can also be good things. They force us to reinvent ourselves and grow both personally and professionally. Tim Ferriss says in "Four-Hour Workweek" that we should all do something that scares us every day. I like that. I'm not doing it every day, but I'm doing it every week. What a rush!
