Gary Gorman shares his top tips.

• 1. As long as you're prepared to work hard and be flexible you won't regret it.


• 2. The best chance of work comes through personal recommendations, so network as much as possible. This is also the cheapest way to market yourself.


• 3. Think about your point of difference - why should someone come to you?


• 4. Register on Trainer Base - £50 per year gets you access to tendering opportunities. I've already got work through this route.


• 5. Speak to people who have done the same thing and learn from their mistakes. You will make mistakes just don't repeat old ones.


• 6. Keep costs to a minimum at all times but keep your eyes open for genuine opportunities to publicise your business.


• 7. Consider setting up a limited company it tends to carry more impact and tax advantages as well.


• 8. Keep a sense of humour and perspective.


• 9. The next call could be the one so never ever give up.
