RBP Design
Peter Micklewright is a free lance graphic designer with over 30 years experience. He pitched the idea than going straight from University into being a freelance was a strong option. I was skeptical at first as I don't understand how it can be a viable career plan.
He went through Pros and Cons of the career path and went into every detail imaginable. Literally spoke about how to set up a home office and the lighting of the room to give a positive vibe. He spoke about how it is a good idea to know lawyers and accountants for the future. Even gave us an equation on how to work out our expenditure.
At the end of the lecture he told us to ask ourselves 5 questions.
1. What is it that I do?
2. Is there a need for what i'm offering?
3. Why should my client care?
4. Will there be sufficient demand?
5.Will that generate sufficient reward for me to move my business forwards?
He gave us a seminar later than day and I personally had many questions to ask him. While the class would write down what he was saying I would be having debates with him as I really tried to get every possible detail from him. I asked him how much I could be making in a good year. How he could support his job for the first few years. How he got himself out there and Is it easier or harder now than it was then.
Peter Micklewright was my favorite speaker to come to us in Professional Practice and made sure to connect with him on Linkedin.
