Every business - big or small - looks for ways to improve. It’s the nature of business to progress, change and enhance practices as time moves on. Without progression, there is a serious lack of interest and eventually, a business falls off of the customer radar.

Working from home has long been a go-to for parents across the world, especially as online sites like Pinterest have made it possible to market, sell, and a whole lot besides from wherever you are.

Creating a personal brand for your creative business is essential. Your personal brand helps differentiate you from the competition by showing the unique things that you offer. It tells people who you are and the value you bring. People remember you before they remember your products or services.
