Monthly Professional Blog

This month I will talk about free lancing.  I have thought about it and I am slowly starting to think that is the only way to go.  Since I had my first job at KFC when I was 16 I have hated having a boss.  I have always wanted to call the shots.  I am not a great leader but I do have ambition and I think I could manage a small amount of  clients.  The coolest thing about free lancing is if you get a solid foundation of clients then its all word of mouth from that point on.  If things are good then you can  get people under you.  There are a lot of things I dont know, especially when it comes to designing.  I like to consider myself a creator,   not so much a maker.  If that makes any since.  I can code pretty much anything, but when I design something that I think is awesome, it turns out to not be so awesome.  So I guess last night that I am going to try to get some cards and get out there and try to make some money on my own.  I will say this has been the plan since I started my class.  My goals before I even started was to have my own business.  It can work!  I intern for a successful free lancer in Dave Miller.  Its going to take hard work and a lot of business cards!  So if anyone knows a good place to get business cards then let me know!
