You’ve a great attitude by taking it on the chin and replying with manners. That's why you’ve got myself, @ZCP, @BizyDad, @Rabby, @The-J and others continuing to root for you.
...
I’ve only skimmed this thread. I don’t quite know what stage you’re at.
Are you navel gazing trying to determine who your ideal client could be? I’ve been there and bypassed that hurdle by talking and helping as many different people as I could. From there I could think about who I *already* spoke to and helped or couldn’t help.
...
If you don’t have any paying clients yet then consider doing this for the coming week:
1) Reach out to everyone you’ve ever done business with, and then everyone in your network as described here:
2) Find out what local business networking events are going on this week (most likely on Zoom).
...
Make it a goal to speak to and help X number of people this week. Don’t push sales. See who's eyes light up when you tell them what you do. See who’s motivated enough to jump on a call (even a free call costs them time, which is a precious resource).
...
I've already linked to this thread. It might be right up your street.

- Join them **as a peer**, not as a marketer trying to find clients.
- Get chatting to those business owners and see if you can help them.
- Maybe offer to “jump on a quick call” if someone has any specifics they might need help with.
- Take it from there.
