Today I’ve been at DWF for a year.
After starting a company at university & growing it for 7yrs, I honestly couldn’t have imagined changing that, but sometimes life throws you opportunities you have to take, and I can genuinely say I have loved the last year.

My company was doing great but I reached a point where something wasn’t quite ‘clicking’ anymore for me and I spent a year or so trying to figure out what the next ‘step’ was. Without sounding cliché I’ve always thought things happen for a reason.
I’ve got so many friends who own/have owned businesses and have said to me before that there’s a pressure/assumption if you will, that if you decide to stop running your business you’ve failed (& honestly this crossed my mind a lot), but I came to realise it’s not true at all.
There’s so much ‘hustling’ nonsense on the internet of ‘inspirational’ ‘entrepreneurial’ quotes but sometimes things simply don’t go the way you initially plan and you don’t have to have built the next Apple by the time you’re 30 despite what Instagram may tell you.
Also, if you’re reading this & it sounds familiar then please feel free to DM me. Running a business is incredible fun but it’s also incredibly stressful too and it was hugely helpful to me to have a sounding board of other business owners too when I was deciding what to do next.
