good luck, man.
it really is anybody's guess - it's more about consistent marketing,
and networking / shmoozing - once you've found your niche.
however, FINDING the niche - AHHHHHH........that is truly the question.
since there's SOOOOO much competition, you really do have to pound away
at your contacts, and if you don't have any contacts, then you need to pound away
at getting some

.....cold calling can SOMETIMES get you results.
there's a LOT of bs to wade through, unfortunately.
very tough. i wish you the best.
oh, i LOVE vancouver, btw
