Giving up clients

That’s right! I’m giving up client-work until the end of August to pursue font-creation full time. But I will be working harder than ever. Here’s the story…

I work with some amazing people at Blumer CPA’s. On top of doing my taxes (They only work with creatives and they are completely paperless – No more filing!) Jason and I have a coaching session every quarter to discuss my passions and goals for the upcoming months. It’s business advice mixed with therapy. We go deep.

Anyways, Jason and I were talking about how to make my clients happier and improve project flow when I interrupted him, “I’m really burned out on client work right now. I want to make fonts.” I told him about how I’d been dabbling in font creation lately and how I felt I was discovering my true passion. To put it simply, “I actually get energy from doing this.” As we talked about this possible new path an idea came into my head, “Instead of talking about doing my dreams some day why don’t we turn these goals into a bet?” So that’s just what we did. Just like that, I decided I needed to raise the bar on my passions and go for them. The stakes needed to be higher so I couldn’t make excuses. So we’re making it public so you guys can call me out if I try to get out of it.

Here is the bet: I need to design 3 new fonts by the end of August or I owe Jason $100 for every incomplete font. However, for every font I design after the 3rd Jason owes me $100. So here are the ground rules. 

1. Only 1 client project for the months of July and August (So it has to be great). 

2. Each font must be included a full uppercase alphabet, numbers and special characters.

3. Each font must be completely unique. Nothing based on previously released work. 

Follow this path over the course of the next two months on Twitter. I’ll try to post updates here at least once every couple of days to show you what I’m working on and what I’ve accomplished. Thank you for taking this journey with me.
