Trust Your Own Vision
"Great point Heather. I do absolutely think it is possible to create something for someone else, and have a personal vision at the same time. Our vision can include how we relate to our customers...presenting them with an authentic picture of who we really are and why we care about solving their problem. In other words, our vision may be more about our style than the particular product or service. And while that personal brand may not appeal to everyone, I truly believe that if it is authentic, it will eventually connect with the right customers, the ones for whom our product/service just "feels" right. The key (in my opinion) is to have enough trust in our own unique style to resist the downward spiral many of us face when we start second guessing ourselves. We are all searching for the right answers, and building a business, like any art, can take us in nearly infinite directions. Great point and addition Heather. Thanks for adding your thoughts!"How To Use Social Media To Destroy Your Business Effectively
"All I can say is WOW. I thought I had seen the best of the chef meltdowns on that show (and by the way the UK version is FAR better than the US version over here). I think this case might be the exception to the saying "all publicity is good publicity.""« previous1 next »

How to Avoid the Low Price Trap
"Totally agree Val. The risk that they face though is that they may mistake that particular type of marketplace (high supply, low demand) with the actual market for their type of service. While gaining experience and samples when just starting out is very important, my hope is that aspiring freelancers look beyond these crowded directories and learn how to market their services in a way that doesn't rely on being the lowest bidder. Cheers!"
