    Logo Design: The Priceless Asset For Your Company's Identity
    Creating a company logo becomes much easier when one begins to get a feel for what is appealing and why it is so. It is essential to learn how to use the principles of visual communications and combine them successfully with basic production techniques. Equally important is to gain awareness of how important are the factors of ethics and social responsibility in the creation of vi
    So you want to own your own business? Been dreaming of all the free time you would have, nobody telling you what to do; becoming the next Bill Gates? Well, there is good news and bad news about being an entrepreneur.

    According to the SBA, the Small Business Association, only about 2% of the American population is emotionally and mentally equipped to succeed at owning their own business.

    Most people simply don’t know where to start and what to do when they don’t know what to do. Fear and lack of security are large contributing factors in preventing people from striking out on their own.

    The good new is the sky is the limit for a motivated, self-starter person who believes in him/herself and their product or service.

    Here are a few guidelines to consider when dreaming of owning your own business.

    1. Clear goals

    You must know where you are and where you want to be. Write these goals/plans down. Remember, “That which can be measured, can be managed.” Those who write down their goals have a 97% better chance of success than those who don’t!

    2. Budget

    Know how much you need to live on; estimate how much your business will cost you until it starts paying you back (then double the amount of time you estimated and add 20% to your budget—it always takes longer and costs more than you anticipate!)

    3. Plan

    Not just a business plan, a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly plan

    Logo Designers Would Give Michael Jordan a Run for His Money. Take Control of Your Design Experience
    A waste paper basket is surrounded by a smattering of scrunched up balls of paper. A hush falls over the studio as the creative director takes aim at the miniature basket ball hoop hanging delicately over the bin. He aims and fires from a distance of 2 metres. After the whooping and high fives have finally died down, the studio resumes back to some normality. A junior designer rum

    5. Meditate

    Close your eyes, relax and program your subconscious mind to help you create the future in your real world that you create in your inner world. Spend at least 20 minutes a day doing this. It will take months off the time it would normally take to get your business up and profitable! Try it—this may just be the most important step

    6. Rent office space vs. home based

    Try not to spend too much money before the business begins paying for itself. If you can start out at home, do it. As the business grows, you’ll have to get more space. Do it then.

    7. Rent from MD’s or corporate boardrooms.

    If your new business involves after hours classes, you can often rent space in the evening from existing businesses. That’s a win-win situation.

    8. Get a good Bookkeeper.

    This may be your best investment. Have him/her show you how to set up your books (using Quicken or some other good software). You may think this is a frivolous expense, but it will save you many wasted hours and much unnecessary expense in the long run. Find a bookkeeper that specializes in small businesses—until you have to find one that specializes in large businesses!

    9. Check out “Business Opportunities” if you don’t know where to start.

    They are often much cheaper than franchises and offer you freedom and guidance.
