I've been running my business since 2015 and I've learned quite a lot in these past 8 years (more on my story here). Over that time I've put together a whole lot of blog posts and videos with recommendations, tips, and tutorials, so I thought I'd bring them all together in one place. I do my best to share as much as I can about my business journey and the lessons I've learned along the way—I hope you find it useful in your starting or growing your own business!
