Those words have been etched into every single one of my notebooks, calendars, scratch pads and corner of my brain. I've committed myself to this great cause to not put things off that are difficult but rather to "start today".
It's a call to action and a challenge that I've made to myself since I first started contemplating working for myself again. It means making that embarrassing phone call to friends, family and contacts I've met along the way and just letting them know, "just to let you know, I'm doing graphics again... any kind, all kind, tell a friend, here's my number and my email, and oh, did you get my number?"
I've learned a lot since the last time I tried this sole-proprietor business, and I've made my mind up on the importance of investing time into things like my website, cold calling, social networking and oh yeah, designing new things. As a matter of fact for the last couple of weeks designing new things has been at the bottom of the to-do-list. My loving wife reminded me of this very important task just this morning... er, well it's just past midnight on Friday morning now, so yesterday (thursday) morning. I guess that means I can still live up to that commitment. After I get some rest, I'll start today.
