Mr. Samuel L. Clemens wrote some of the biggest classics in our history. Here are some of his words of wisdom…

“The primary rule of business success is loyalty to your employer. That’s all right–as a theory. What is the matter with loyalty to yourself?”

“The happy phrasing of a compliment is one of the rarest of human gifts and the happy delivery of it another.”

“One cannot have everything the way he would like it. A man has no business to be depressed by a disappointment, anyway; he ought to make up his mind to get even.”

“When all is said and done, the one sole condition that makes spiritual happiness and preserves it is the absence of doubt.”

“Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink- under any circumstances.”

Now and then I come across articles on the web that are interesting and helpful. These articles provide you with a solid foundation to set you on the right track towards starting a web design business.

Richard Banfield wrote an interesting piece on the best and worst time to start a web design studio. Richard explains with good reasoning why you shouldn’t start your own company and great reasons why you should. It is definitely a good read.

Kevin Potts on the other hand, wrote a nice article on starting a business. Kevin goes into each detail on the proper steps to take when starting out.

These are two good reads that you need to check out.
