Resourceful Designer - Resources To Help Streamline Your Graphic Design And Web Design Business.

Have you made the transition yet from employee to entrepreneur? This week's podcast episode is a bit different. Instead of answering a listener's question at the end of the episode like I normally do, I chose to create an entire podcast episode to answer a great question I received. Here is the question I received from Dave. I work full-time as a graphic designer/prepress operator and have wanted to start my own freelance business for some time. I have also been learning web development to broaden my skills, which I usually try and work on at weekends along with juggling life as a new dad with a 5 month old son. I am at the stage where I want to take on small design jobs to build my client base before eventually being a home based designer full-time. So my question is how did you approach the transition of moving from the print shop to working for yourself? how long did it take? and do you have any insights for someone who is very time poor that wants to make the leap into self employment? Thanks again for e
