On “hold on to the clients you’ve got,” I couldn’t agree more that nurturing your existing client relationships is essential and usually much less costly than acquiring new clients. It’s been helpful in the last few months of economic uncertainty to remember that we are in a relationship-based business!

On ‘sell an essential product’ some fields are made for that. In my field translation needs are driven by fear of the FDA and by the need for patents to protect from generic competitors. My clients still need their translations even in a downturn.
On ‘DIY and update’ I have more training and networking planned this year than in previous years.
