I began my journey in 2005 as a graphic designer while still working my day job. I used free tutorials to learn photoshop & the Adobe Suite (Canva is free), took on free jobs to build my client base (now Fiverr & Upwork are the go-to platforms), and used every networking event as an opportunity to gain new clients. After my first job, I had enough left over to order 100 business cards. I always kept my business cards with me, which happened to be refrigerator magnets... and they really seemed to stick with people. Best wishes on your Entrepreneurial adventure!
