I think articles like these feed on the paranoia of designers that someone will swoop in and "steal" the business, while the real point is that this is BUSINESS. While it is fantastic to have an artistic vision and wonderful designs, people with strong creative and design skill, but without strong business sense, are best off selling their talent to a solid business. Working as a designer doesn't necessarily mean owning the business, too. People go out of business for a variety of reasons. There is a heckofalot to know, and businesses fail all the time...mimi jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046101113822427313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-60639468986659565532012-08-04T07:55:51.518-04:002012-08-04T07:55:51.518-04:00Hi Kirsten,
