What method did you find most effective in getting your initial clients?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My initial method involved a lot of stumbling around, occasionally getting in front of people, and being of service. What worked was facing my fear, meeting people, and being of service (although I didn\u2019t understand that was what I was doing).<\/p>\n
