Nothing can make you happier than feeling like you are on the right path within your creative work...


There's a whole different meaning to your business when you are doing it for the absolute love of it & creating authentic work as opposed to doing it just for the money.


Don't get me wrong, owning a business is massively about earning money because we need money to live, and although money talk is very taboo, I am very open and honest about it when it comes to my business. What I mean by this is, although we need money to live, having a business which fulfils you will make you excited to work & in turn, give your clients a whole other level of amazing experience.


That is why finding your style & figuring out where you want your business to take you is so important.

So, what i want you to do is...


Ask yourself the following questions...


Knowing more about yourself and the way you are feeling is super helpful when running a business, you'd be surprised how many of your answers will help you to learn more about yourself, and in turn, help you navigate your business to it's best place. The answers you are looking for are already in you.


(Use these as journal prompts and really deep dive into it, and let the answers flow naturally. Whatever you think, write down. Ask yourself these questions now and then again in 3 months time. Then again in 6 months time. Then again in 3 years time. Never stop asking yourself these questions and driving your business forward to exactly where you want it to be!)
