Great article. I finding working with deliberation is key. I’ve had a lot more luck investing a lot of time in going after a few select key clients, that canvassing anyone I can get in touch with.

Nice article! It looks as if either gardening or working as an independent designer may come naturally to me. They do certainly compliment each other.

Wonderful metaphor! I really like how it applies to both activities – this is one article I’ll be sharing with my network.

*GREAT* article.

Know something? I´m a gardening freak myself. I really enjoy taking care of the plants I have on my apartment´s deck.

An idea that came to my mind some days ago, specially now that all my plants are really beautiful and some of them even producing fruits (it´s summer here in Peru), was that the more I take care of my plants, the better my freelance business turns out.

Of course this seems just too “idealist” but it´s true. There´s something very special when taking care of other living beings, and it´s that they respond to your care. It´s the same with plants. They become beautiful and thankful when you dedicate time to them. And somehow the same energy you put in there, irradiates to your whole life, including of course, your business.

I found this article, really, really cool. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Laura – what a great article! I enjoyed getting to read about how gardening is similar to a freelance business. Makes perfect sense and just the motivation I needed today!

Great post!
