Hi Wendy
What helped me most is reading everything that I could get my hands on and of course the forum!! Oh my goodness there is loads of information here and great books out there to read. Also, to believe that tomorrow always brings us a new day with new ideas. Keep asking and keep searching and always know that good things take time wether we like it or not. I hope the best for you and never give up.
Good luck and keep posting!!
