Episode 7: Find It Online

So yes, I'm back. Long story. But while I was gone, I had a chance to catch up on some reading. To my freelance graphic designers out there, I want to highly recommend The Creative Business Guide to Running a Graphic Design Business. You'll find it to be an amazing reference for planning out how you do business while avoiding all the little pitfalls the rest of us have to learn the hard way. You can pick it up from Amazon.com here:

Also: Do you know where Google.com is? I'm of course assuming you do. But do you know how to use it? I get asked a lot of strange questions, and my answer is always the same. "Look it up." I'm not trying to be a jerk - I'm just trying to save my clients an unnecessary hourly consulting fee when the answer is as easily found as just typing the exact question into the Google search bar. Is this a solution for every question? No. But for the other 98% of them - well, it's really tough to come up with a question that somebody else in the world somewhere hasn't already asked (and found an answer to).
