For me it is to never stop learning and never stop improving.<br \/> In any business it takes time for you to establish your systems and eventually you&#8217;ll reach a point where things will start to run really smoothly. You have a steady amount of clients and you can handle just about any problems that come your way. All you need to do is repeat this process to continue making money. <\/p>\n<p>In my early years I got into a fairly comfortable position and as a result I wasn&#8217;t working ON my business, only IN my business keeping the wheels turning. A year or two went by and I started to improve my existing systems such as slipstreaming my Windows CDs, experimenting with different forms of advertising and tweaking my existing advertising.<\/p>\n<p>With just a few simple tweaks I started making significantly more money by either working faster (allowing me to take on more jobs) or my advertising being more effective. Which made me wonder how much more money I was leaving on the table, so I continued improving and haven&#8217;t stopped since. I just wish I had done it sooner since there was a fair bit of money I missed out on by not improving earlier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, whats the one piece of advice you wish you could have told your past self?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those of you reading this via email or RSS reader, head over to the site and drop us a comment.
