I have never been a very patient person. My brain goes 90 to nothing all day and as a creative person, this only makes it much worse. As I grow older I am trying more and more to become patient, and trust the process!
Starting a new business is fun, exciting, and oh-so scary all at the same time. I want everyone to love what I do. I want to make anyone who is willing to trust me with their company's design to be happy with the work as well as feel like they got exactly what they paid for.
Then I get into my head when the progress seems to slow down and the jobs seem less and less. I start to self-talk, "Maybe I am not cut out for this," "Maybe I should just wait until I go back to school and then reconfigure," "Maybe I should change this or that," "Maybe my prices are too high for a start-up," and the list of degrading conversations I have with myself go on and on!
Then I have to hit the reset button, the one that reminds me that creativity is different for everyone. My designs may work for some and not for others, and that is okay! I am 100% capable of doing this, because it is truly what I have been thriving in the past 4 years of my work life. I may not have a degree like some, but my work history can prove my true ability. Life has thrown many curveballs that made jobs have to come and go for personal reasons, but those exact reasons are why freelance work is what will be best for me and my family.
So why am I being so vulnerable here? Well because I want each of you to know, that I am human and I have the same doubts as everyone else at times. However, I am very capable of doing exactly what I am creating here with this new adventure. So thank you for trusting me or even just liking this page and listening. I also want all of you to trust yourself because you truly are better than you could ever imagine.
