Think outside your box. Who is connected to your current clients or the clients of your clients? What would be an unusual place to look for new work?

Start making a list of everyone one and every company that you can link to yourself and your business. It's like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon but for you. Then, see what you can do to get those people interested in what you do.
