Putting in the work, but no clients yet. What would you do in my shoes?

You're on the right track—now focus on in-person networking, refine your elevator pitch, and offer free consultations to show value. Build your local presence with Google Business, social groups, and community events. Ask for referrals and track what gets results. Consistency + real connection = clients. Be visible, helpful, and genuine. Clients will come when people trust and remember you.
