Creative Equality in Small Business

I'm a twice uni dropout

Every women's success is your success too.

Your pay reflects your self-worth.

NO.

It's this internalized misogyny that tells us that there is this finite amount of success and that someone else's accomplishment is ultimately your demise. Which is bullshit.

That's what I do when I don't do what I do.

Women have historically been discouraged from entering creative fields because it's inherently competitive.

Ironically we are told from birth that all women are our competition and it's a very toxic environment.

Building those creative networks with genuine excitement for others' achievement does nothing but help you and is the only way forward.

Women are not my competition but my cheerleaders as I am to them.

If you do work unpaid, be selective about it.

Working for free devalues the idea that creative work is work.

Having a small business can be a really isolating experience so having a support system is important.

In a creative business, there's often this tricky period where you're going from hobby business to business business.

Clients get what they pay for but creatives get what we sign up for.
