Best advice I ever received:
Ignoring the advice not to form a company that would employ designers as well as programmers.
Biggest blunder:
Wasting too much time on a customer that failed to honour his agreements.
Tips for professional colleagues:
Daring to say goodbye to customers that do not do good work.
As an ambassador of Amsterdam, I would...
Set up a municipal website for business accommodation that would keep estate agents out completely. Provide accommodation support for developing companies. Prices are driven up by the unreasonable position held by the estate agents, as a result of which creative companies are all but driven out. I would also get the municipality to subsidise small creative congresses.
