Are You Expecting Too Much From Your Work?
You were drawn to this industry because of the work, not the business side. In fact, if you could figure out a way to do this without clients...or even employees...you'd be thrilled. But that's art, and this is design. How do you approach your work without depending on it too heavily for creative stimulation? Without burning out? Without going nuts balancing what you need to do for money vs. what you need to do because it's good work? David Baker is the principal of ReCourses, Inc., a management consulting firm that works with the creative services industry. He is a frequent speaker at events, including How, MYOB, SEGD and AIGA. He is also editor of Persuading, a reference journal for the business of public relations, advertising, interactive and design.
