To celebrate that significant number, here’s 5 things I’ve learned over this time which have helped me improve my business:

1. Be a visible part of your own brand. Even if it makes you uncomfortable or you don’t think it will work, your audience will be more drawn to the human side of your business!

2. Networking is so important.

3. Look the part! That means getting professional photos, email signatures, a proper website and even brochures.

4. Be patient – results will come, don’t rush them!

5. Just show up and do your best. So long as you’re consistent, determined and willing to work hard, success will eventually follow.
