I’ve been doing a lot of contemplating lately. In fact, that’s pretty much all I’ve been doing. Other than working on a few small jobs for clients, I haven’t been doing much of anything for myself.
And that’s a problem. Here’s why:
If you are not building anything for yourself, be it a site, a reputation, a brand, or even just blogging a few times a week, you are dead. Plain and simple.
What happens (not if, but…) when the client work dries up? You have nothing to fall back on.
So from this point on, the work I do for clients will be used to fund a real business. That is all for now.
