Starting an Architecture Firm
Starting an Architecture Firm is a book for architects who are ready to start a practice. This eBook covers the essential information that an architect will need to start their business, manage the firm's finances, understand the basics of contracts, develop a brand, and develop relationships with clients. The book is based on a day long seminar that brought together an architect who owns a successful small practice, two lawyers, two accountants, and a strategic marketing professional to teach architects the best practices for starting an architecture firm.

Masterclass provides online classes taught by instructors that are famous for their craft; Sara Blakely (founder of Spanx), Anna Wintour (editor-in-chief at Vogue), Howard Schultz (Founder of Starbucks) and many others. So far, I've taken courses on Masterclass taught by Frank Gehry, Sara Blakely, Anna Wintour, Gordon Ramsay, and Marc Jacobs. Each of these courses has been fantastic for learning the essentials of architecture, entrepreneurship, leadership, cooking, and fashion design which are all passions of mine. I've loved the courses so much that I'm now on the annual subscription plan that provides access to all of the courses on Masterclass and became an affiliate for the company.

Ever since I was 12 years old, I've been nearsighted and needed to get glasses every year. At first, I never knew how expensive glasses were because my parents always purchased them for me. However, once I started buying my own pair of glasses, I realized how expensive it was for me to afford replacements every year. Once I discovered Warby Parker, I've been fascinated with their business model where they provide free home try-on glasses and for every pair you buy, they donate a pair to someone in need. After my fantastic experience with Warby Parker, I decided to become an affiliate for their company because I truly believe in their company's vision (no pun intended). If you decide to use my links to purchase a pair of glasses, I’ll earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support!
