We have to let go of the mentality that we can get better in huge chunks. When we think like that we often end up frustrating ourselves because we attempt to cram everything into one shot. Although it can be frustrating trying to improve in little chunks the results will show over time.

Now that my daily commute is a bit longer (ranging from 35min. - 1hr), I think of very random things. This video is the result of a random idea I had when this song (Jamiroquai’s Dynamite) came on, so I started recording random video on my drive home.
I also wanted to play with the video recording on the iPhone 4.
I wish I would have recorded more, but I have a feeling this won’t be the last video.

I understand there is always a bit of hesitancy to charging a specific rate, but to be honest if you think you aren’t charging enough then you aren’t. If clients are more than happy to pay for your services then you probably aren’t charging enough. When a client doesn’t question the price you know something is wrong because although people don’t mind paying for quality, they always want to pay a little bit less.
I’ve definitely learned this from experience. Good read here: Two Choices For Rates And Cheap Isn’t One Of Them.

Chill Mode Mix: Necro Edition→
I know we’re hot off the heals of a Chill Mode Mix already, but I feel this needs to be posted. I’ve listened to it a bunch over the past few days, and no longer want to keep it to…
