How did you get your first contract/ make the first sale for your business?

Alison's contribution:

For me, it was through contacts I had already. Someone I had helped further their career gave me the opportunity to further my busines (at a competitive fee level). 

However, I would say that teaching privately and playing with the local orchestra in university and afterwards was a great education in how to get and retain business. And yes, I think Richard Branson's book Screw It, Let's Do It is one to read and pass onto the kids so that they can start figuring out how to make money for themselves.
