I think the challenge for many of us in 2009 will be to continue to prove our relevance to our clients. Many of us who are in small or solo businesses will have to fight for work (although I have a newly signed client today, so I'm happy about that) in a more competitive market. We'll need to review pricing, terms and the way we do things.
I agree that there's plenty of work to be had. I have this new client and two other leads that I am pretty certain will come through. One thing that I'm already involved in that I think more of us will need to do is combining our services with others that offer complementary or matching services. As an example, I'm working with a few well-known names in the Enterprise 2.0 space to come up with a vendor- and analyst-independent offering to provide services to clients wherever they are. We're all going to have to tighten belts and spend less. Maybe the new laptop every two years will stretch to three...
