After over 10 years in the corporate world as a Fashion Buyer, a year ago I took the plunge and quit to start my own business. in Dubai! And let me tell you, it's been a wild time. Now I understand why people say starting a business is hard, but no one shows you behind the scenes of what it's really like when you first start out.

I talk mindset, marketing and myself, and chat to others who have taken the leap from a full time job to self employed. Let's build a brand!
