Karen Mahony posted an interesting comment to my entry, “Bouncing back”, where she talked about meeting two interesting women who both “.. subscribe to the idea that you need first to find your PLACE then all else follows.”
Karen’s own experience would seem to support this view. I have often urged her to keep a record of and write a book about how she and her partner Alex built their design/publishing/making stuff business. It is a fascinating example of how a physical move to place, in her case Prague and an intelligent use of the internet has enable them to build a business doing something they are passionate about. (I hesitated before using the word “passionate” because it has become an over used buzz word, but in their case it is accurate – they love what they do and live their lives doing it.)
