Ask for referrals! Some clients just don't know they are supposed to tell their friends and family about how much you have helped them. Also, ask them to write reviews on yelp, google etc. Personalized reviews, like on yelp or google, can be really helpful when you are first starting out.

Don't take every single bit of advice your given. Everyone has something to say about what you do or don't do. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut and believe in your own ideas. Innovation looks and feels different.
