So last year was my first one in business. Things were pretty hard, not many clients and not much work (= not much money). But sticking with it, things got better. Then.. Christmas and New Year, dead quiet with all my clients going on holiday.
So now it's the end of March, hoping that things are getting better, but it's still pretty quiet. I have jobs coming through and money too, however not the level I've imagined. So reaching out to everyone I can with new material and hoping to connect. It almost feels like starting again. It's hard not to feel down. So obvious questions come to mind, am I doing the right thing?
This is easy to do, hard to stop, and if you don't it becomes a habit and a spiral down to crash bang, go work at McDonalds.
So what to do?
PUSH ON! I have to keep moving forward, creating new work, inspiring yourself and potential clients. Take the time to relax, find your inspiration, meet new people extending your network. You need to do the small steps, keep believing in what you're doing. If you can't get perspective, perhaps you think it's all going to shit, then find a business mentor. But above all, be honest with yourself.
Keep shooting and doing what you love.
