Why don't we work for ourselves? Sure there's the obvious answers: security, marketing, etc. But what about our sanity? If we are driven crazy by our boss' odd requests our job security may not be as strong as we initially believed. What about our individualism? How great of a designer can we really be if we aren't allowed to flourish to our full potential? It's about time we stop putting it off and start making a plan for our own path to success. After-all: if you fail to plan then you're planning to fail. Nervous? Don't be. I believe in you. :)
