Starting out on your own will be one of the biggest decisions you make. Whether you're going it alone as a freelancer, working as a creative team, or starting a fully fledged company, the pitfalls are by and large the same, and the same preparations are necessary. When we decided to start Make we struggled to find information directly related to the creative industries, and starting out. A lot of blog posts were written by serial entrepreneurs, whose business models seemed to be built entirely around venture capital, funding, and building a service without a revenue model.
There was also a lot of advice offered to us by people who'd never run a company. We dismissed it out of hand.
There seemed also to be a distinct lack of realism and self-criticism, and a pious insistence that self belief will conquer all obstacles. 
We found very little in the way of practical, realistic advice.]]> http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/2010/02/starting-out-on-your-own/feed/ 3 http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/2010/02/andrew-makes-make-poster/ http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/2010/02/andrew-makes-make-poster/#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:52:14 +0000 admin http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/?p=40 http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/2010/02/andrew-makes-make-poster/feed/ 1 http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/2010/02/hello-world/ http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/2010/02/hello-world/#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:33:34 +0000 admin http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/?p=1 http://makesomethingfor.me.uk/2010/02/hello-world/feed/ 0
