Opportunities

"A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds."

Francis Bacon

Isn't that the truth?

I think of my old boss and mentor, Bill Yenne.

Back in the day, jobs for graphic artists/designers (now known as visual communications specialists) were few and far between. The job market was just bad for us.

That didn't stop Bill, he went out and started his own graphic design firm, leading to years of successful book publishing and a whole writing career. And when the book market tanked in the mid-90s, he kept on writing and working, making his own opportunities.

Bill is now a well-known author, still writing, still doing his thing.

All because he made his own opportunities.
