Let's meet the inspiring woman behind May June Creative! She's the queen of helping businesses looking to grow their social media! Here's the story that made us inspired!
How have you turned your career into a successful business?
"Persistence. Running a small business is exhilarating and terrifying all at once but if you can keep pushing past the fear then I usually find there's something good on the other side. Changing my mindset, developing resilience and surrounding myself with incredible clients and business buddies has been valuable. I'm also super conscious of my own self care practices! Running yourself into the ground isn't useful for anyone so it's important to make sure your health and well-being comes above any amount of money or success."
What's the hardest thing about your job? Most rewarding?
"The hardest part is the uncertainty. My business is constantly changing and it can be an unsettling place to be 24/7. Like most business owners, I'm the kind of personality who is always looking for ways to improve, systems to implement and little tweaks I can make to be 1% better but this can be VERY exhausting if you don't make time to switch off and step away.
How do you balance personal and work life working freelance?
"Historically I've been pretty awful at this. I'm an introvert so building a business from the comfort of my own home is a dream job for me and I've never felt the need to have a huge social circle of friends. But this is something I'm working on changing and am learning that I can be as vulnerable in real life as I am on social media!"
What advice do you have for people entering the social media field or starting their own business?
"My advice is to never stop learning. Be willing to listen and accept that you don't (and will never) know everything. As long as you have a thirst for knowledge and understand that success takes time, you'll eventually get to where you want to be.”
