Starting from Scratch : Becoming an Architect Entrepreneur
I'm starting over. With no clients, no audience, no studio, no social following and no income; this is what I'd do if I were starting my business today. Join me for this thought experiment and learn from my mistakes as I discuss what I would - and wouldn't - do if I had to do it all over again. This time, I have all the lessons learned in my first eight years of designing a practice that supports my creative aspirations, builds wealth and frees my time to pursue the things I care most about.
If this lit a fire and you want to take the next steps to build your own entrepreneurial design practice, join thousands of other students in my most popular course:
