I have worked toward independence as a creative professional for a decade. After many decades working for businesses that benefited from my skills, why not take a shot at it on my own? I restructure every part of my profession with careful accountability. When I finally realized that my efforts created a functional business named WriteRight4Life, I gained the confidence to promote it.
The idea that I compiled a list of qualifications that businesses usually look for in candidates gave me insight into their expectations. I started taking on roles that typical graphic designers never do. Sure enough, companies began searching for candidates with a broader skillset, and I decided to ride out the wave of success as an LLC while working in Ohio and acquiring projects from platforms like LinkedIn and other online sources that customers frequent daily. My ambitious heart usually remains committed to figuring out the next move.
When I began making the connections that led to enlightenment, a vision of a promised land appeared. Gaining influences that advise through critique without misleading or undermining a professional is a valuable experience. I’ve had many helpful mentors who never hesitated to share the challenges of reaching goals, such as in business ownership. Perhaps starting small will help me stay relatable to organizations that value hard work and dedication to results. Still, I am a human possibility and flawed like any other business-centric mindset.
After experiencing a layoff from a company that fostered an environment where employees constantly feared losing their jobs, I focused on discovering new ways to achieve success. Neither intimidation nor bullying would work for me as a new entrepreneur willing to adapt and grow if these methods earned me respect from clients. The developmental stages also challenged me as a professional committed to results. I wrote a full-length narrative nonfiction manuscript along with a completed proposal to sell it to a major publisher. My confidence grew humbled by completing each process.
Sitting atop a mountain, climbed and covered with obstacles, looking back at the moments that mattered, inspired me to keep going. I am a strong example of a doer, after all. Each quote I share is another reason why I love what I do. The client has a purpose to achieve a goal, and that is why I stay busy as a business that matters to my co-collaborators. If you are reading this post with a project nestled atop your neocortex, then send those brainwaves my way, and together we can accomplish just about any objective.
Now, I will find the perfect agent, publisher, and distribute my title worldwide, a goal I set more than ten years ago. For now, WriteRight4Life, LLC is an identity I proudly advertise, and such sustainability remains enough for a career that depends on my tenacious choices. My feet remain firmly planted on a foundation for earning whatever creative jobs come my way, and love is a strong motivator when the refrigerator has empty shelves.
If any company reviews what I've achieved and declines me, I am ready to dream bigger and more boldly than they can imagine. Staying busy as a business is the blueprint for becoming recognizable to what others seek in a creator. Creativity is my niche.
