I never felt good enough

When I first started out in the design industry I was intimidated and insecure. How could I ever measure up to other designers?

I couldn’t even get a job at first, working part time in a restaurant and part time assisting at a home staging firm. It seemed like a very long road to any kind of success.

When I finally did get my first real job as a design assistant I learned how little I knew about business. I knew that there had to be a better way to build a firm and when I took the leap into running my own business it became very lonely. I was overwhelmed by continually second-guessing myself, comparison traps, and a persistent sense that I wasn’t good enough. I stood in my own way and made everything harder than it needed to be.

And when I finally did start to get some traction in my business I was so focused on not being enough that I couldn’t even see my own success.

Then I learned to invest in myself

I invested in business learning and self-development (I know it sounds cheesy) I leaned into the person I am at my core. I taught myself marketing tips and tricks I could find on the internet and through trial and error started to see traction.

I built relationships with other designers (locally and online) learning from each other & leaning on each other when we had a problem. I discovered that building my own dream business was not at odds with helping others build theirs. We were stronger together.

I love to share, some may even say that I “overshare” ???? And now that I have finally landed in the place I am meant to be. I want to help others do the same.
