I was here September last year, a hotshot with no clients, but with grit and determination. Today I've had a $5000 long term client since then till now. I wasn't active here as much since I had to focus on that client.
But if there's anything I've learnt so far, it's this: If you truly want something, you'd end up having it.
Try your best EVERYDAY fellas. You'd get your first client and more!
