One of the things about this time of year I love is the advent of new beginnings and endings that bring positive change. Almost everyone I talk to is starting something new and sunsetting something else. At Calm Capital we’ve had more than a few entrepreneurs reach out to us in the last few weeks, hoping to sell their current business so they can start a new one. And I’ve talked with several in-house creative folks who are leaving their jobs and venturing out on their own to provide design and/or copy services to soon-to-be clients. Recently I ran across an old Field Notes notebook that held the original handwritten notes I made for starting my first agency, in December 2008. It’s funny to see how my mindset was back then compared to today so many years later.
