Hanging In and Helping

March 30, 2009

Times are tough. If it wasn’t official before, it is now. My business Blue Flavor has lost a few good gigs recently due to tight times and while we’re doing ok and hanging in there, we’re also feeling the crunch. I’ve also seen a few good small businesses fail in the last few months, despite fairly the aggressive measures taken to keep them afloat. And, unlike the big American car companies, there’s no government bailout coming for most of us either. We just have to preserver and play by the rules of the market.

Happy Masochist is a straight forward and light-hearted look at owning, running and living with a small design business.

About Me (D. Keith Robinson)

I’ve owned my small business, Seattle-based design agency Blue Flavor, since the Fall of 2005. In that time I've learned quite a bit about running a business and made more than my share of mistakes. I talk about all of that and more here at Happy Masochist. Grab the RSS feed.
