Although I don’t own my own company yet, progress is being made. Right now I am doing a ton of networking and evaluating the opportunities that are available to me. I can’t stress enough how important networking and self-promotion have been. The majority of opportunities that are available to me right now were a result of networking.

Regarding self-promotion, I would highly recommend purchasing the domain of your full name. For example, I bought http://www.aaronforgue.com and have turned it into a simple website that says a little about myself and provides my contact information and resume. I have had numerous people contact me after visiting the webpage, and I always make sure to send it along to new prospects; for example: “… and by the way, if you are interested in finding out more about my skillset and past work, check out aaronforgue.com…”. Definitely worth the price of the domain and hosting.
