One Eighty Designs

Something I haven’t talked about publicly until now - the season that broke me, I went ghost mode and how I was angry with myself and for my business. I spent months running at a pace I told myself was sustainable.

Obvs it wasn’t.

And the wall I eventually hit taught me more about myself and my business than any win ever has.

Have you struggled like this in your business before?

The real talk about starting a design studio that no one prepares you for. 🤦🏽‍♀️🫩

Even with having a business admin degree, I wasn’t prepared for entrepreneurial journey. I learned the hard way that not every client is a dream client, burnout hurts physically and mentally, and pricing for the sake of client’s budget will not bring me any success.

My business isn’t just a hobby or side hustle; this is my future. A future where I don’t have to work 8-4, where I don’t have to get approval on my vacation, and certainly don’t have to start my day at 8 in the morning on a Tuesday.

What did you learn (the hard way) when you first started?

Since I started doing my series, I’ve noticed I’m most positive, excited to take photos, and when I edit them it makes me smile of why I took the picture.

So excited to see what June holds for me, for us. 🧺
