Recently I've Discovered
That owning my own business has kind of turned me into that guy. It's becoming most of what I think about, which has as much to do with the fact that I work from home - and thus never really leave work - as anything. This new-found compulsion likely also has to do with the fact that my work is now, always, going straight from me to the client. There are no editorial second-chances, like there are in an agency. No. It's just me and my oft-emulated "wait a day and then read it aloud in another room" mode of proofing. This, at times, can create heartburn.
So, I think about it. A lot. About how to get new clients, about what to do next, about where I could possibly bring this business (more on that later but I'll give you one hint: the idea of moving has come up more than once this summer), about whether I should scrap it all and go back to an agency and so on.
This may just be a byproduct of the work I'm doing for a new client this week, and the ever-increasing expectations I have (and promise) of myself to pump out quality product each time I get out of the gate. But jeebz. All of a sudden, I've got this to finish, that to finish, a proposal to write, a new colleague to meet and on and on. It's almost like I'm running a business here, kids. That said, I fucking earned my coffee today.
And those steak knives too.
