Comments on: Benchmarking artists vs. designer-makers (2008-9 data) http://www.mycakefinancialmanagement.co.uk/blog/?p=1022 the blog about business finance for creative industries Thu, 09 Sep 2010 07:37:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Binita http://www.mycakefinancialmanagement.co.uk/blog/?p=1022&cpage=1#comment-425 Binita Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:41:06 +0000 http://www.mycakefinancialmanagement.co.uk/blog/?p=1022#comment-425 This is really fascinating and helpful Sarah. I feel from reading this that I swing in both categories which is interesting. I keep an eye on my expenses and where the money goes for each project and I re-invest in the business. I do spend on research and marketing and I have been paying a decent amount into a pension for 8 years (my dad told me to!) I am not convinced about having a pension though as I don't reckon Ill get much from it when it matures! I am very cynical about the financial world working for me. I was joking about the glass artists being analysed! This is much more helpful for me thanks! I am pretty convinced I have a little bit of a 'business' head thanks to my Dad - he ran his own graphic design company! I love your comment on innovation and staying at the forefront when others start doing what you do - I think a great person who manages to do this really well is Sharon Elphick - she is my business role model!
