The first point is basically saying, be a generalist, and the second point makes me wonder whether he'd be as successful if he started out in po-dunk Ohio, and tried to get work from the big cities. Very interesting article though, and it shows that any creative and self employed person needs to treat what they do as a business.

I remember a post where you were basically dismissive of anyone who doesn't live in NY or LA? All the best (from the wilds of Maine) Paul Rob,
