I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Some obstacles were when I first started business a civil lawsuit was filed against me from a competitor . I was 23 yrs old , nervous and started my business with less than $500 in the bank. I fought back on the lawsuit and kept going …. I’m still here and evolved into a business and self I am proud of .
Challenges – balancing ALL the tasks of small business ownership and staying creative . It’s a practice. Especially as we phase into a more digital world and reality .
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
