Using the entrepreneur approach will lead toward jobs. You can then choose whether to accept jobs as an independent contractor or as a full-time employee. Either way, you have a job.

Some entrepreneurial examples:

1)     Successful entrepreneurs have a very clear picture of their target market and idea client They don't pitch to everyone, just the ones that match their company vision and mission.

2)      Entrepreneurs offer free samples of their value and worth. They offer free e-books on the proper way to accomplish the task; they provide a few hours of service to illustrate their value, they give low-cost solutions that they can provide on a limited basis.

3)     Once the entrepreneurs has a list of "ideal clients", they continually contact and follow-up that list with updates of services, newsletters, new upcoming offers of seminars.

4)     Entrepreneurs continually network and build relationships with past clients. People associate with people of a similar economic, social, and professional background. Therefore, these "ideal clients" will be surrounding themselves with similar people. Entrepreneurs make use of this, and continually ask for referrals.
