Running a Business


In Mondays class we were set a task to read over this chapter and pick out 5 points that seemed the most important and would help you to run a business which is useful as my plan is to open a graphics business with Lisa. We picked out:
  • Day and Hourly rates
  • Quote high, not low
  • How to walk away with grace
  • Your always on show so be mindful
  • Negative remarks or tweets

All of the points in the chapter are very important and great tips, these five point will really help shape you as a business owner and it explains that it is hard to start a business and you need to sell yourself to get the business however it is also very rewarding.
