i literally have to take a clients idea, put it on paper for them to see, tailor it to his/her needs/wants etc., and turn that into a reality.
It's no easy task by any means. It takes alot out of me WRT, time, $$, constant communication, research, humility, patience, etc.
Ive said it in many threads prior to this one , but what i've come to realise is that their are very few people or types of people , that can appreciate work done and are willing to pay for it, without the usual run around, and scheming.With that said, i was in it full time and needed a break from the stresses as described above. I got a reasonably livable offer 3 yrs ago and took it. I am right now putting things back in motion to get back on my own and try different angles so as not to experience the same problems as before.
Someone mentioned earlier about the sacrifice WRT to family and time when running your own business.
Know this:
It is almost Impossible at the starting point of any buisness to have near perfect relationships, unless you have found that one in a million person to share, understand , support and stand firm, knowing that its for an eventually profitable cause in most aspects.
Ive personally seen in many instances, men leaving chances of success in buisness because of their g/f's/ wives, etc. who demands that they do not work the hours required that is necessary to take them all to another level of existence.
couldn't have said it better............... ur trade and mine are very similar, in which we both are considered 'artists'.....
people have no appreciation for intellectual concepts and look at it as something that should be free with the package, when in fact - this is what you pay for - ideas!
eg; ppl will beat you down on every dollar, for material and time.......... but some of them don't even know you have to pay for artwork, but yet they want their stuff looking d besss........... if u want the best, you have to pay for the best.......
some of them act as if ur car does work on water, tstt and blink is ur father business, t&tec and u rel good, you dont have a life or a family - when they say jump - you ask 'how high?'......... and ur brain is like a machine programmed to jus spit out ideas................. and u cyah stick wit their work, but when it come to payment - is bounce cheque, is post dated cheque, is 'ah collecting money friday'..... 'yuh go pass back nah....'....... 'oh gosh man - daiz yuh best price?'
trinidadians sicken me at times................. sometimes u wish u were jus working somewhere and u didnt have to put up wit their crap.....
