The mindset required to start a creative business
Questions we ask ourselves when we're about to enter the world of work or start a business.
- How do I make myself employable?
- How will I find my dream job?
- What skills am I lacking?
- How should I deal with clients?
- What are people more interested in - my technical ability, or how I think?
