And often clients like to pay for busy rather than effective. Add in complexity and the client seems even happier.<br /><br />Too may people seem to touch the work these days which stops it getting from A to B effectively. The quantity of touches doesn't seem to add much either in terms of what the client needs IMO. This is clearly what you avoid. How was your weekend?

Also a symptom of weak CDs.

If you have 3 weeks for a job, chances are it will take 3 weeks. Not only that, but doing jack all is part of the creative process, thats when your brains working behind the scenes so that great idea pops into your head out of the blue when your in the shower or on the bus.Nimbwshttp://www.nimbws.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
