Creative Industry myths:
>If you spend the time producing good quality work all the rest will follow.
>As for your people, well quite frankly if they are doing what they are supposed to do then they don't need much looking after.
>And as for needing bigger premises to cope with extra work then there will be more money floating around.
>Great work acts like a magnet for new business.
