I've never really understood the desire to "save" on lawyer costs up front. Lawyer money is the cheapest money you'll ever spend, if you use it right. Having a lawyer set up your company correctly from the start is not e

Honestly, as a collector with 16 years of collecting under my belt, I can tell you this does not happen very often. I do have a few things that I paid hundreds for that are now worth thousands, but I also have works that I paid hundreds (an

Well, kind of, except that's not really right. A Gallery usually represents an artist in a specific area. For example, in the US it might be that a gallery represents an artist in San Francisco, while another gallery does so in Los Ang

Honestly, if you're doing it in an 1800sqft studio custom built for exactly that process, it's not that hard. I spent a weekend doing it in what was essentially a 50sqft bathroom and it was pretty straight forward, once you get th

Honestly, this seems a tad self-aggrandizing. I've done wet plate before, you can learn it in an afternoon, it's really not that hard. If you can't find someone to teach you there are books like The Keepers of Light that have

Hiring fast is actually really important. It sets a really good tone with candidates and forces you to have a hiring process with good decision points and processes. At Voxy we had a 1 week turn around goal from receiving a resume to having

As I've gotten older, I'm 41 now, this has become a higher and higher priority for me, because I realize once you slip it's harder to come back. I recently changed jobs and one of the deciding factors was how it would impact my workout sche

Have to disagree about place of incorporation. Investors may not care but you should. Delaware should always be your choice. Delaware is very company friendly with laws and procedures that generally make it much easier and cheaper to get th

Yeah, IANAL but my guess this is pretty illegal in most states. If it wasn't you'd be seeing a lot more companies doing it.

Interviewing is a two way street, or at least it should be. If the interviewers don't want to be interviewed it's a bad company. To that end here are some points I'd like to add (I'm currently hiring some programmers and would love to have

I was in a start-up in the health insurance industry (we just got acquired by a much larger company). While I agree there are some opportunities, mostly in the areas of information, what most people don't realize is that health insurance is

Freelancing while trying to run a start up can be extremely tricky, I know, I've done it. I often found myself burnt out from client work (the work I didn't really want to do) which impacted the quality and quantity of the work that I did f

I can easily see a use for this. I'm doing a pro bono project for a small non profit, and part of the project requires generating simple PDF reports. They don't have any money so we need to keep it low cost. One of the ways of doing this is

Find a generator, some beer, and some snacks and finally try to get through all those video games I don't have time for now. Oh, and get a shotgun just in case the rest of you come back as zombies. This is a quick fun read ttp://www.worldwi

My criteria for this is always can I print it on a t-shirt in one color (i.e. black ink on white t-shirt in this case). If it works on t-shirts it works on business cards, stickers, etc. Keeps it simple and keeps promo items cost down in th

Not to nit-pick but I believe it's "I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space". "Drug store" is a decidedly American phrase.

Actually it's not that hard, I've done it before - once the account was set up (15 minutes) the SMS was integrated and tested in about an hour. He's certainly not opening his own SMS gateway with $500 so he's probably using a service where
