#77. 1 Year in Business and You’ll Never Believe What Happened

Today’s episode on the Sick and Successful podcast is one of the most special ones yet! I’m so excited to celebrate and share with all of you the first year business anniversary of S&S Creative Media! Through all the ups and downs, this journey has been one heck of an amazing roller coaster ride full of experiences and lessons. If nobody has ever told you about the mixed emotions and pressure you’ll be facing when starting a business - I’ll be the one to tell you all that in this episode!

Building a business has never been easy and leaving the corporate world after 12 years of working wasn’t an easy choice either. Have you ever felt like no matter how much time and effort you gave for work it just never was enough? Like you always thought and said to yourself you can do and achieve so much more? These were just a few of the dilemmas I faced when starting S&S that I look back on today as we celebrate our first anniversary.

I always dreamed of becoming a successful business woman - and this first year anniversary proves that with passion and stepping into yourself and your powers (also known as faking it til you make it for me) - you can achieve anything.

I started S&S Creative back in 2021 while on my maternity leave. Like many entrepreneurs, we’re all waiting for the perfect opportunity to discover what kind of business we can succeed in - and the moment I knew I would succeed in this business  was when my good friend Danielle asked me to manage her social media page. Right at that moment I knew what I truly wanted to do!

Apart from all the business success and growth this past year, I still experience struggles with myself.

I’ll be totally honest and vulnerable - I always had a hard time celebrating my own success, I felt defeated even when business was going great, and at some point, the imposter syndrome was stronger than ever!

I want to set an example for all the dreamers out there through this episode that you have the potential in you to achieve your dreams - you just need to believe in it and hone it! Learn to celebrate the small wins and learn from the struggles you face - experience is the best lesson in business! I want you to also always remember that you are never alone on your journey and that family and friends are always there to celebrate with you when achieving your success!
