Do you know who you want in a client? Do you know what you can do for that client? Do you know why they need your expertise? Always be ready to sell your expertise.

As a freelancer, consultant, or contractor, you can’t give what you haven’t got. Look after yourself, so you can look after others. Service your service business.
