Find better local clients and find ways to lock in the relationships (regularly communicate your value).
I had a $500 a week client for a 3 yr stretch, we understood each other and he knew the value in what I was doing for him - but, I got a little sloppy in regularly communicating that value.
He sold the business due to health reasons, and I just assumed the same level of communication would be fine. Unfortunately, the new owner had a completely different personality and needed a lot more hand holding and self-assurance that he was getting his moneys worth.
New owner lasted w/me less than 6 months. It took several new clients and several more months to make up that income. I'm pretty sure that with better communication from me, continuing to educate him on the value of SEO and PPC I'd still have him.
Just my .02
