Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Some of the struggles I faced along the way, were when I relocated from NYC to Atlanta, I had to start all over, I was a new face and a new name in a new city. I did a lot of work for free and for credit. I sacrificed a lot of my time and personal finances into growing the business. I also had to make my prices match the new market I was in and not lose the integrity of my brand. There were times my roommate and I ate sunflower seeds for dinner because I was sowing into my brand. I had to realize that investing in my brand was important. I was not able to afford a website designer or a PR so I learned how to build My own website and how to become my own advocate and promote my brand.
