If you’re looking to grow your architecture business, to take your firm to the next level, it’s time to revisit the type of clients and projects that will help you do that. You want more clients — even better clients, more of those "perfect" projects, and possibly more staff to help handle new business. What do you do?

I personally feel that having fewer licensed architects is bad for the profession because good designers will go unlicensed and clients will start to recognize (correctly) that they can hire unlicensed designers who are equally qualified to do the work.
