I’m of the opinion that a designer’s brain is wired in much the same way as that of an entrepreneur. We are constantly making new connections, assessing opportunities, identifying possibilities, looking at new and better ways of doing things, redefining spaces/ objects/ cities, creating that which didn’t exist before… Hmm, interesting. Then why is it so that many good designers and creative people in general, go on living a non-entrepreneurial life? Are most of us too caught up in the esoteric world, too concerned with the “perfect proportion”, the right “balance”, the ideal “shadow line” or whatever it may be, that we miss out on opportunities to become entrepreneurial forces to be reckoned with?

What would happen if, instead of worrying about the “shadow line”, we focused on discovering our core identity, awakened to opportunity, developed goals and strategies and taken BIG action?…
