I guess the only thing I can add is that it's also crucial that you be able to keep alternatives and backups and multiples of both as much as you can. Some people are lucky enough to be working a full time job and maybe working on something on the side, which I think is a lot more prevalent in this side of the world. Great post, and Mabuhay!

How did you get started if you are separated from clients by vast oceans? What sort of work do you do? What other issues arise?

As the CEO of a large ad agency, he said: "You should always have a good mix of large and small clients. That way if a large client leaves you (business as usual), you'll still have your smaller clients providing you with projects to keep the bills paid." Good luck with your business!
