Saturday, December 20, 2008 | A Breaking News story

I have looked through what would be required of me to start my new business and I have decided against it for the following reasons -

 

1) I am not a get up and go type of a person. I think people who are do well in their own businesses. I fear I would not be motivated enough to be my own boss as such.

 

2) There is so much more to running a business than I had imagined!  I dont think I could and actually dont want to do all the paperwork and networking that would be necessary.

 

3) EDS - My EDS is manageable but some days are worse than others. I am very tired/ fatigued and feel that this may hold me back or I could find that I take on too much.

 

4) I would prefer just to do the illustrations not all the rest of it.

 

therefore I have decided to dash my ideas of running my own card business and focus on becoming a freelance illustrator only.  I will continue my project proposal and hopefully may get some commissions for Jewish card (existing) companies but do other work for magazines. books etc at the same time.

 

here endeth the story.

 

the END.

    good for you. i agree about running my own company. i am of the artist community and hold my creativity very close to my heart because it is my outlet. i don't think that i would like having to depend on it to make my living though. it would take all the pleasure out of it i imagine. maybe i am wrong. love that you are an illustator. hope you are well and the holidays are merry for you. hugs to you.
