Being a dad of two young boys, Sunday mornings are never available for watching TV. Pre-kids, one of my favorite programs was Small Business School on PBS. It currently airs in the New York City region on NJN, Sunday mornings at 7. Lucky for me though, I can still get my weekly fix online at www.smallbusinessschool.org. They have thousands of videos available for download, all free of charge.

Coincidentally, Annmarie’s brothers dropped everything here to make the same move just a few years earlier than my brothers.

Here are a few ideas for your next press release: Announce a new commission. Announce new employees. Announce your firm’s work with local charities. Announce your firm’s awards.

Besides creating wonderful residential architecture, marketing our firm well and encouraging our clients to spread the word about Fivecat Studio , I believe a major part of our success is “likeability” Clients expect architects to design well. They expect us to provide a quality service at a reasonable cost. It is actually rather difficult to distinguish your firm from others.

I received my copy of Residential Architect magazine today (in my opinion, the best of all the trade journals). This month’s Practice column, by Cheryl Weber (another one of my favorites), is about savvy architects investing long-term by owning their buildings. The advantages of owning real estate are plentiful. Here are five reasons to start your search today: Paying yourself rent feels much better than paying a grumpy landlord.
