And just like that…4 years go by!
Aniseed Creative hits its 4th birthday. It’s unreal how fast that time has gone by. And so grateful to be having our busiest summer yet.
Some lessons I have learned over the past four years:
1. Planning is key - thankfully I have an amazing accountability and partner in crime in . We have a regular Monday meeting to discuss both of our businesses weekly plans. We also have a quarterly planning day that sets us on the right track for the following months. It also keeps us in check when needed. This has been invaluable.
2. Think about 6 months ahead - while busyness is all involving, I learned the hard way to ensure the workflow continues months in advance and planning for that.
3. Using software like Notion to keep all business, project and client information in one place has been so helpful. Keeping organised and easily accessible to help things run smoothly and keep track.
4. Fear helps noone. It also leads to procrastination and subsequently productivity gets the brunt of that. I have a tendency to overthink, like many creatives, however sometimes it just needs to get done.
5. Routine is everything. Working from home can be challenging, having a routine is key to ensuring you best plan your days.
6. Your network is ‘chefs kiss’. I’m so lucky and grateful for my network ‘team’. I have done a lot of varying networking over the four years and from that I’ve not only got some great clients and projects, I have also managed to find some amazing friends and team mates.
As always, a massive thanks to all my clients, friends and family for allowing this to happen.
Here’s to the next four years! A little glass of something later to celebrate I think. Happy Friday everyone.
