Whaa gwaan fastlaners!

[leonrobinson1]

Greetings everyone,

I'm Leon, a graphic designer from Kingston, Jamaica, and have my own graphic design "business" Insight Studios. I produce quality work, but was never able to turn it into an advertising agency, my dream. I taught myself graphic design after graduating in the recession. I thought hard work alone would be enough, and if I burned my bridges I could make it. No day job, few relationships, just work.

A decade after I started it, I realized how wrong I was. I was self employed playing entrepreneur, doing all the design work, and made very little progress. I took on a partner that's good overall, but knows little about business. None of the potential mentors I approached helped me. Few want to groom competitors. I have a great deal of expertise, but don't know how to get corporate advertising accounts. Tired of small time "I know someone who can do it cheaper" clients.

I know I'm capable of SO much more, but I don't know what the missing piece is.

That's why I finally joined the Fastlane Forum. Because I'm tired of feeling frustrated. Because I'm tired of being surpassed by people with a fraction of my intellect and drive. Because I don't want to spend the rest of my youth making others rich. Because I want to realize my full potential.

Looking forward to your comments!
