  • Is it worth it?

    I noticed there is a lot of talk about doing the creative thing, but only if your ROI is worth it. Why do it, if it takes too much time, too much space, too many resources? Especially if you probably/don’t make money at it. I guess the question about the creative thing is really–does it…
