Being a successful artist or designer instead of a starving artist is a dream for many creative people. But, it takes more than just a dream and talent. It takes effort, determination, the right attitude, and clients.

When it comes to stepping out on your own and working for yourself, it is up to you to generate your own buzz.

I scoffed when I read the question. “Lemonade stand? How conventional!”
