Notable quotes:
“Even in the moments where I wake up and I’m still kind of struggling to either find the client or feel happy with some of my work that I’m doing, I would not trade it in for anything…I get to do what I love, so I know that the moments of struggle are still better than any other job I’ve ever had.”
“You will get it as long as you stick with it. It’s so easy for people to look at their work and look at other people’s work and be like, ‘I’m never going to get there. I’m just going to quit.’ I never really took that approach. I see other people’s work and I’m like, ‘I can be that one day if I keep with it.'”
“Don’t get frustrated with what other people are doing. Just keep doing it because you love it, and eventually you’ll get there.”
