What did I take from my fellow entrepreneurs? Firstly, everyone makes mistakes. Embrace them, learn from them and move on.
Secondly, networking is key! We don’t do enough of it and it is actually something I thoroughly enjoy. Getting to know other creatives or budding business ladies (and gents) is such a thriving thing to do. It’s really fulfilling seeing what others have achieved.
Furthermore, know your rights. I made a few slip ups at first. I learnt form them. Always signs contracts. Small or large, you never know what the future can bring so the safest option will always be to protect yourself.
Carrying on from this, I found myself fascinated by the different techniques other entrepreneurs use to drive genuine traffic to their blog. It is SO important to grow a loyal and passionate audience. An audience that are truly interested in what you can teach them.
