The Independent
They are their own boss and help small businesses make it in the big bad world. They create business cards, logos, and pens for realtors. Their home is
their office, their pets or children are their co-workers. Inspiration is almost easy but resources are not. Time is seemingly available but in short
supply due to the nature of running their business.
