CP_Anniversary-GiveawayIconToday I am celebrating the first anniversary of Creative Perch! Last week I posted about the anniversary giveaway of Ignore Everybody by Hugh McLeod and asked participants to share the best creative business advice they have received. I was absolutely thrilled by the responses, and I love that we can learn from each other’s life lessons. In case you haven’t read the comments on that post, I thought I’d share them here:
