Until I get around to write about my frightening seven months at that hell hole of an agency, Prestige Communications, here’s a really good article about the transition from the employed to the self-employed.

It’s a little different for me, because I was freelancing for eight years straight, before joining Contract and then Prestige (both as Creative Director). The ad agency bug had bit me a little and I spent 13 months split between those two before realising that most people here are unethical, political and crooks (Yes, I had a reasonable amount of money ripped off by Prestige).

I’m now back in the comforts of my home, but trying to figure out how to work up the discipline that will allow me fight of my two kids and get some work done. It’s not easy, but I know it’s doable since 1) I’ve done it for years and 2) I completed one ‘loadsa work’ job a fortnight ago with my poor wife serving as bodyguard.
