Key Takeaways

Focus on hot leads - When you need more clients, you should talk to people who already know you, like your past or current clients. They are more likely to work with you again.

Try not to panic - If you feel worried because work is slow, try not to panic. Take a moment to calm down, then make a plan to help your business.

Talk to someone - You do not have to do everything alone. If you need help, ask someone you trust or talk to a professional for advice.
