Sometimes you come across something that has nothing to do with VO and you realize it has everything to do with the way the business works.

There were some good take-aways from that, certainly relevant to VO business (or any fee-for-service business for that matter).

Thanks Mel.

Excellent article. Thanks!

I wonder if any clients will balk when they see 'Craniotomy' on my invoice.
