Things of Note:

Well, I’m back in A-town, and getting back into the swing of things. Yesterday was pretty much email and errands/chores. Today is back to actual work work. I’ve got a meeting with a new client this afternoon who wants to do something artsy (yay!), and will be gearing up for some more changes to my profesh site in the near future. This year I’ve been slowly trying to tweak and nudge my design business in a new direction (or at least a more focused one) and I’m finding that takes lots of baby steps and small adjustments, which will hopefully add up to big changes. As with most things.

Have you ever tried to change the direction of your business mid-course? Or have you found any read-worthy links this week you’d like to share?
