Be willing to ask for help and accept help when offered. 3. Be determined to find the positive in all aspects of my life. 4. Ask someone who uses extra accessibility if your website is accessible to them, gain their loyalty by tailoring your website to their needs and capitalise on a wider audience. 5.
