Key Takeaways:
1. Get at least five years of real world experience before you even THINK of going out on your own. Make mistakes on someone else’s dime first.
2. If your scope of work is very fluid and your efficiency is at the mercy of others (i.e. contractors), billing hourly vs flat fee is the smarter way to go.
3. Above all, stay in your lane and remain true to yourself no matter what your creative peers are doing!
