Anyway, I had an exciting day on furlough in which I got dressed expecting to go round up new clients. I didn't talk to a single person for the same reason as last time: If I get new customers, how do I guarantee I can help them when they call? How do I know they won't dismiss me if I don't show up immediately?
That said, I can't really afford to put my reputation on the line. This day job really gets in the way, but I like the steady (yet reduced) income because I enjoy owning a home and having fewer risks of not making the payment on it. I will take customers as they come, so they understand that I am generally unavailable during the day and my specialization is after-hours response.
I should spend the next furlough re-writing the website to suit my style and communicate my intentions a little better.
