I started to "filter my own clients..
so that way with a good relationship between you and clients won't hurt, and the nice thing about that is that you can keep sending invoices and ask for delayed payments with less worry by not getting payed...

Freelancing can be a good learning experience for starting a business. If you can't make it as a freelancer, don't try to make it as a business owner. Freelancing can teach you how to handle the business side of design, especially when it's your only income...

i assume more people own their own "company" in here, I do, have that uh.. what's them called, yeah, business license..
yeah, so we're all wanting to have our own studio, that would rock, i just don't want to have to deal with stupid clients, they are fucking everywhere!! yeah, so put away 30%, and i'm definately getting better at being accountable to my own clients (some of which are friends, that's also tricksy..)
i'm going to buy that Tell Me Why book..
i'm fascinated more by the small, inter-disciplinary studios like MM/Paris or simply working purely as a solo designer or "consultant", not the friggin mother corporate bread winner design "firms" alot of thems forgets about process, imagination, exploration and risk-taking.. and just settle with the same 'ole shit.
just venting..

our method is to screen out virtually every client as unsuitable before they have a chance to make our lives miserable. I might need to rethink this method.

Got the small, "inter-disciplinary studio" and busy, busy. But always seems like there's never enough time to give proper attention to the business side.
