Big Idea: Get client buy-in during the thinking/strategizing phase if you want to reduce the revisions in the execution phase. Peel back the onion together. Then, it's possible to present only 1 solution w/ no revisions because you've already earned their trust. #BizOfDesign

Repeat after me: The client perceives me as a subject matter expert, therefore I am an equal. Few others can do what I can do. I have earned the right to be in the room among the decision makers. I hope they are smart enough to pay me what I'm worth so that I might help them.

People obsess too much on tools, typefaces, plug-ins, and software—always looking but never finding. The only software that matters, lives between your ears. Change your mindset and everything is possible. You already have everything you need. Just start. #BizOfDesign
