There are a lot of Web designers out there in business, and being a freelancer is often a viable option. But if you're really entrepreneurial, you will want to start your own business. So, when I read this article on A List Apart, I was interested. No, it's not specifically about starting a Web business, but that doesn't really matter. The suggestions and tips are ones that you should seriously consider no matter what your new venture is going to be. Starting a Business: Advice from the Trenches
