I have 30 years of experience, and I am thinking about starting a small design studio with a focus on brand identity for small to medium size companies. I can direct or execute any work needed, and I am comfortable with clients, but sales is not my strong point and I don’t want to spend my time searching for clients.

I WFH in IT and my job is pretty "chill". If I focus on work, I can get it done in 15-20 hours, and the remaining time is spent on upskilling/training. However, I'm thinking of putting that time towards a brick-and-mortar side hustle, a basic restaurant.
