Show Notes
I love his thoughts about attitude. Sometimes it’s better to relax and push through a problem rather than get so uptight. Your frustration can impact your work and your relationships.
I’m glad Anthony mentioned imposter syndrome. Recently, I was reminded how everyone struggles with this at one time or another. It’s our minds way of helping us survive the unknown. Again, just remember everyone has times where they’ve had to deal with it. Imposter Syndrome is normal when jumping into the unknown.
Sustainability… Take the time to figure our what steps you can take to begin making changes in your business. Don’t judge yourself, we’re all trying to be better.
Embrace color! Look at color in all the depths and tones that the flowers posses.
If a client doesn’t feel like a good fit, have the courage to refer them to another designer.
Celebrate your accomplishments! Comparison often robs us of our joy.
Lastly, practice gratitude.
