This brilliant image was taken by Ros Rheaume of Harbour City Imagery. We were in the middle of a great chat about storytelling online to prospective clients and customers when she picked up her camera and took a few shots. She explained to me that when someone is talking about something they're truly passionate about, it can be caught in an image and sincerely shine through. Sounds about right.

In light of The Clever Quill’s 1 year anniversary of business (it's today!), I’ve decided to strip all façades and get totally naked with you guys (figuratively speaking, of course).

If you’re thinking of starting an online business, you’re probably doing plenty of research to find out exactly what you’re getting yourself into. And good for you, because a well-informed entrepreneur is a better equipped entrepreneur!

There are two ways to do business online: work on a project basis, or work with retainer clients. I tend to delve in both, but ideally I go heavier in retainers.

​Many would agree that month to month retainers mean more stable income. More stable income takes you one step closer to your dream lifestyle.
