Great stuff! the art and the blog! I have a question.. If you have never done any paid work,are tentative about making a go of it etc.. does doing all the necessary tax and business work give you a head start in getting clients? I know this probably sounds like a dumb no brainer, but Im pretty clueless:) And how would you judge whether you are ready to take this step? Coz I assume there is plenty of outlay in all the abn sole trader gear. Is that something you would suggest can be done while you still work a dayjob etc? Hi,
