<\/a>But last week I came across a job where the client wants new kettlebell designs with decorative patterns. As much as I promised I was perfect for the job, with my long workout and design history, the client hasn’t contacted me back. It happens. But I really want this job. <\/p>\n

But I can’t do that and expect to create a good business, so that’s why today I modeled my own designs and took a skill test.
