In a few short years, I evolved from being a junior architecture staff working for everyone else to a licensed architect with interns and junior staff suddenly reporting to me. Your Interns Could Be Your Future Clients. What if you viewed your junior staff as one day they might be your future client? That’s a scary thought.

This month, the #ArchiTalks topic is “Back to School”, so I am encouraging my fellow small firm architects to go back to school themselves and learn what they need to know to find the work they want and live a life they’ll love. Back to School. summer is almost over and the kids are heading back to school.

A while back I wrote a post titled “ Architectural Interns ” where I stated: Other than slowing things down, interns aren’t very useful in small firms because we run fast and lean. I hope all firms can give their interns chances to prove themselves, and support the growth of those who rise to the occasion.

Instead of recapping the course or giving a final exam, I share with my students a presentation titled Advice as You Finish School and Start to Practice. Advice as You Finish School and Start to Practice. You can start earning IDP hours right after high school graduation. Future clients will be the result.

My wife and I launched our architecture firm, Fivecat Studio , in 1999. Young, ambitious and a little crazy, we started with no money and no clients. Before you can finish, you must first begin. Starting is actually the single hardest part of launching a firm. We were 29 years old. Now, imagine jumping off a cliff.

The encouraging footnote to that figure is that, of the businesses that start with a client on day one, the failure rate drops to just 2 out of every 10. It’s going to take time to fill your boards with work, to build a client base, and a referral network of trusted contacts. Sound familiar? There won’t be one.
