Completely agree on all points, and I particularly agree that in the long run those who are more honest and friendly will get more success than those who might talk or pressure their way into jobs which they might not fully know how to do. I've yet to speak to another designer / freelancer who isn't a very nice person, some are nicer than others but all very pleasant people. Great post, thanks for sharing.

Why work for yourself at all, if you're not going to follow your own standards? Thanks so much for your thoughtful posts.

I am learning as I go along -- and learning how to do business right way. It's all about creating annuities, and not just transactions.

I've left positions because the company would do anything to make a buck, including promoting unethical companies, something I just won't support. It truly does make a difference in the end of your day if you work to for people that are honest and ethical. It's refreshing to read that others agree, cheers! I completely and wholeheartedly agree!

I know I left the corporate, organized work world because it wouldn't allow me to maintain my sense of self, my integrity, and my own damn schedule. That's something infinitely powerful about being my own boss is the ability to dictate the work I'll take on, and to maintain my own code. Great post, and great food for thought.
