Quotes to ponder:
"It's a rollercoaster of emotions in the beginning (it took me 2 months to get my first client!), but so worth the effort when you finally get a 'yes!'"
"To sell my services, I sent email pitches to women-owned businesses in my area, telling them how I could help them improve their sales."
"In exchange for free projects, request either a testimonial or referral to further your business in a non-monetary way."
