  • The Big Design Website Push

    March 16, 2010

    SUMMARY: I haven’t been blogging as frequently as I’d like, but there’s a good reason: I have had to spend more time building infrastructure of a technical nature. However, I’ve also realized that this is a form of procrastination, and I’m acting like a Ph.D. student dragging his feet on his dissertation. I outline a few of the things that are helping me through, and share two new insights that are helping me push through on my new design website. (more…)

  • The Work of Being an Artistic Entrepreneur

    March 11, 2010

    SUMMARY: Buddy Brad reminds me that making a living from one’s “art” is hard work, but once you get something working you should continue to do it until it’s exhausted.

Some of the Agenceum material, particularly the Wiki, may be re-purposed. And I’m thinking a lot about how to package websites again to meet more specific market demands at specific price points. When I get those packages defined, I’ll post them here. There are few technical challenges that I need to solve immediately, this means I’m past the technology building stage and am now in the business development stage. There’s the need to create marketing materials and put them in the hands of prospective clients, once I find them. This is an entire process in itself that I will be looking at more closely.

    In the meantime, there is some old business that will be closed out this week,, which will perhaps lead to continued business.

  • The Long Road Ahead

    March 8, 2010

    SUMMARY: I find that the common-sense rules for success are worth following after all, now that I’ve talked to enough about the nuts and bolts of creative people and their businesses to understand just how the rules actually work together. (more…)
