Beginnings

I’ve quit my full-time job to start my own design consultancy specializing in branding and campaigns for mission driven organizations. I feel like so much has happened in the last month, but at the same time I’m not that much farther along in my business. I settled on a name and have been listening to podcasts and reading about legal stuff, business, creativity, etc. 

My big business moves so far to date:

• set up my LLC with DC gov’t
• got a twitter account
• bought Adobe CC
• started a business model canvas
• went to a few networking events

There’s still a ton to do.

Your business is your life

I’ve read and listened to a few things recently that keep saying the same thing. Who you are in life is who you are in business, and the way to be successful is to be true and authentic. That means showing your personal tastes, interests and experiences and weave them into your business.

This is challenging for me as an introvert, but something I want to work at.
