<HTML>Gosh...
If I'm the first to stumble in here since the "refresh", I guess I'd better post something worthwhile.
Here you go:
My MANTRA for SUCCESS...
Don't let your clients choose you. Choose them.
Sooner or later you'll want to be paid for your work.
In the beginning, you'll probably look for any kind of client who has a valid checkbook. But early on, the smartest thing you can do is to think about what kind of clients you WANT to work for.
You'll be spending a LOT of your time (life) doing this work. If you don't control who your clients are, they'll still be affecting who YOU are.
End of story.</HTML>
