Soloists Freelancers |
| Work to experiment on their craft Work to pay the bills
Take on daring clients Solicit safe clients Risk working in fields new to them Perfect what they already know See work as an adventure See work as building stature Would rather mess up than miss out Would rather miss out than mess up Their ideal is being the artist Their ideal is the professional |
