Welcome back to the Print Life Podcast! This week we will be diving in to a very important question that was asked from one of our designers in the Print Life Membership Community. The question is about clarification between being a freelancer, being a boutique studio and which is more accepted over the other when it comes to pitching to companies. Are companies more willing to look at what a studio has to offer rather than a designer? What are the pros and cons? These are great questions! Though it might come as a surprise that the answer really has nothing to do with what the clients prefer or what gets you more appointments...it has to do with YOUR big picture vision and what type of creative business you want. Ready to dive in?! Let's go! Want to learn more about creative a sustainable creative business with your designs? Head over to https://lesliekenehan.com/ and let's work together! See you next time.

Today I am going to share a personal story with you that I felt really highlights the importance of taking action, big or small. There is one major difference between those of us who DO and those of us who DREAM. Dreams are amazing as long as we are taking action to realize them. It is in the doing that our dreams become our reality.
