Do You Want Fries With That?

When should you pursue being creative in your own right versus being an order taker and just doing what the client asks for? When do you take orders and when do you assume the role of a creative consultant alongside your client? If your clients only want you execute their ideas or create a thing, and they don't want you to do more for them, you're relegated to the role of an order taker. That means you can't fulfill any creative vision for the client. If you want to level up how you serve your clients… If you want to attract and serve BETTER clients… If you you want to create meaningful work… You can't just take orders. We're talking about how you go from being a service provider — a technician — to being a valued consultant and advisor.
