My friend David Airey has drawn on his personal experience of building a successful freelance design business. He’s also gathered the business insights of leading designers and creatives and shared it all in his new book. Work For Money, Design For Love.

Why I love this book… well the title has a special place in my heart, since I named it, the title also reflects what I believe business (not just the design business) should be about.

It’s fascinating to draw on the knowledge and experience of designers and freelancers who have learned how to build successful businesses on their own terms.

These business building lessons are for everyone, not just for designers. David’s book answers questions like.

How do I find new clients?
How much should I charge for my work?
It includes ideas about launching your online presence, common business mistakes and on and on.

We’re so lucky to have access to the insights of others who are one step ahead of us on the journey.

Go take advantage of it!
