7 Things Learned
Hi, my name is Christoph Hochstrasser. @hochchristoph on Twitter.
I’m a Freelance Designer and Web Developer
Freelance what?
Freelance | ˈfrēˌlansər | “Person without permanent employment”
Entrepreneur? Yes. Actually somewhere in between.
Web Developer?
Looking At Cat Pictures The Whole Day
None
No. (Sometimes)
1. Web Development != Coding
2. Just Do It™
3. Inspiration Always Hits You When and Where You Expect
It Least
4. Challenge Yourself. But Try Not To Bite Off Too
Much, So You Don’t Choke To Death.
5. Reflect Regularly
6. Talk To Real Customers
7. Don’t write a Business Plan Until You Absolutely Positively
Have To
Fin
