When taking the leap of faith and starting my design business, I was shy, timid and really afraid to put my services out there to receive compensation in a monetary form. But after doing so, I realized without taking that risk, I would never be able to say that I do what I love and I love what I do. Sometimes when I’m strolling through Home Goods searching for that perfect rug or accessory or scouring the internet for that perfect sofa, I have to pinch myself to believe that this is actually my job! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all pillows and pretty artwork, there is a lot of project management, budgeting, organizing and paperwork, but when you LOVE what you’re doing, it just doesn’t feel like work. I don’t mind spending hours upon hours into the late evening to finish up a floor plan on AutoCAD or complete a mood board for an E-Consult client because I really enjoy what I’m doing.
Let me ask you, if you were not afraid to lose anything and the sky was the limit, what would you be doing?

In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good other content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before. GHB or gamma-hydroxbutyrate, dig this penile implants. The fashion designer said in a new interview with The Times that Viagra that site has happened to women in the last 15 years.
You are a lucky lady, so happy everything is working out all right! Such a great post Jami, xo
I would finally be moving out of MN and out to one of the coasts to pursue my dream job in fashion journalism or styling. For now the blog functions as my creative outlet, but I am not ready to give up on my dream. Thanks for sharing – it is inspiring to see it can work out if you chase after your dreams!
Much love,
B
Such a powerful thought! Hopefully I can take a plunge to do what I love soon!
