Gosh. What a list. What a career it's been so far.
I've always had an entrepreneurial spark in me. My first business was a huge learning curve in my early twenties. My first foray into running my own venture. And I'll be honest - it was pretty tough. I ran my blog and magazine for almost four years whilst juggling my full-time 9 -5. Side hustles are one of the biggest yet most rewarding commitments. I think I always knew that deep down, I was destined to be my own boss, although it wasn't quite meant to be back then. My job roles were varied, challenging but there was always SOMETHING missing.
However, it took me a little over ten years and a global pandemic to realise that in my heart and soul.
And in a heartbeat, everything changed.
It felt as though the stars truly aligned for me in March 2020. I was employed, juggling a side hustle (AGAIN!) and living in a rented house. My husband and I were saddled with debt. Stressed. Low. And struggling to keep our heads above water.
Fast forward to the end of July - I suddenly found myself as a full-time business owner, having been made redundant due to the pandemic. But as if that wasn't enough, we'd also sold around 90% of our belongings and moved into our campervan to travel full-time.
Because that's what building the right business can do for you. It can open doors and your mind to a whole world of opportunity. And how are things going, you might ask?
Well, as of right now, we've paid back £15,000 of personal debt and we have five-figures in savings in the bank. The business is going from strength to strength - having surpassed my old corporate salary. Our soulful expansion has continued into 2022 as we approach that elusive six-figure mark as a brand. Life. Is. Good.
