MAKE TIME
1. Schedule fifteen minutes a day to self-promotion. Put yourself in your calendar. With only fifteen minutes every day you’ll make major strides and create a habit.
ORGANIZE YOUR MATERIALS

3. Order business cards. Ask for other people’s and hand yours out like candy.
4. Actively collect email addresses. Be relentless.
