Consistently remain in front of the people you want to do business with. Persistence and consistency are joined at the hip. You must keep plugging without expectation. And everything you do and say, make sure it has creative flair. And don't make people hate you because you can't discern when to shut up.

Create a demand for yourself indirectly. Cause people to have confidence in you. Establish yourself as an expert. Be known as a leader. Create the environment, don't critique it. Be valuable for heaven's sake; don't make people wish you were invisible. Oh, and separate yourself from weirdo’s.

Your image is determined by the people around you who know and see you. What you do in front of them and for them determines your image. Be consistent and positive. Don't whine. Associate with quality things & people. Deliver what you promise. Don't be a jerk.
