I just clicked on an article title that looked interesting. That was the end of my interest. When I got to the website that hosted the article, I quickly scanned it to see how long it would take to read (anyone else do that?). My only impression — “there’s so much to read!” Maybe there […]
Caveat. Unless you’re a graphic designer. You may have learned how to code. But that doesn’t mean you have the skills to design a website. Trust us. We’ve seen some of those sites. Actually, we’ve redone some of those sites! Yes, this is one of those instances when hiring a graphic designer is well worth […]
When your business is new, you want all the work you can get. You’re hungry. You want to build your portfolio. So you may be a little less subjective about the work you take on. Once your business is established, you should be able to be a little more selective. That means understanding that not ever […]
Well…maybe perfect is the wrong word. How ‘bout damn near close to perfect as you can possibly get when dealing with human beings? Cause that’s what I’ve been fortunate enough to do. A few years ago, I reconnected with a graphic designer I liked but had never worked with before. We did some projects together and […]
The thought of failing can be intimidating. It can also keep you from trying. And that’s too bad. Because you might be able to conquer those fears if you’d just let them go. And the joy you’ll feel when you DO conquer something you’ve been afraid to try more than makes up for the fear. Case […]

I didn’t want to leave. Honest. I really loved the bag I found on your site. It was the color I’d been looking for for months and a style that always works for me. But I hated your website. Your website made me do it. Make It Easy Unfortunately, it’s not enough to have a […]
Interesting blog title I’ve chosen — you may say. With good reason. My last blog post appears to be dated January, 2013. It really wasn’t (my last). There were more between the beginning of 2013 and mid-2014. I seem to have lost them. Long story….and not very interesting. So rather than belaboring boredom, suffice it to say […]
So much info. So little time. The entrepreneur’s dilemma. Consuming great quantities of information and still finding time to have a life…..or sleep. I’m an information junkie. And an entrepreneur. So I get the dilemma. But I’ve figured out how to handle it. One word (not plastics!): vet. Two more: very carefully. Find the experts. […]
Stuck on a creative project? Struggling to come up with the right phrase or a “this works!” layout? Try this. Turn on the TV. Find a movie. Now turn off the volume. Shaking your head and saying “huh?” Maybe. But give it a few minutes. Without audio, you’re forced to supply the sound yourself….or at […]
