While most folks today trust mutual funds and their professional managers with their investments, it’s still important to understand the basics ...........

If you’re like many design professionals, you feel compelled to advertise. I mean, everyone else is doing it, right? In fact, here is a question my clients pose regularly: I’ve been in business for several months and things are moving in the right direction; however, I want more business. I’ve thought about advertising but it seems so expensive. Do you have any advice on where to advertise and how much to spend? Many design professionals equate advertising with marketing. This is not, in fact, the case. While advertising may be a component of an effective marketing strategy, the terms “advertising” and “marketing” are NOT synonymous.

Your future begins in your mind. You must dream it in order to achieve it. Learn how to use your imagination to create a blueprint to help you construct the career of your dreams.
