Getting customers when you don't have an established brand yet is not easy. It requires relentless action towards finding the right customers that need your niche expertise, but then comes the even harder part: exceeding expectations on the engagement.
I learned that listening to your clients and truly understanding their vision is the essential ingredient in a successful venture. Additionally, finding the right team -- whether full-time or not in the beginning -- is something that should never be negotiated. My advice is to surround yourself by people who are better than you at everything you can't do and then trust them to execute. When people bear that responsibility and care about the mission at hand, they do a great job.
