Monetizing something from the jump can easily suffocate the joy from the process of play.
Today’s guest, Donna Adi, gave herself permission to play. This sparked incredible success for her and set the tone for a highly desired new art style.
She’s an insanely talented artist and storyteller who combines vibrant illustrations with lifestyle and fashion photography.
What started off as a hobby has led to her flexing her unique style with major brands like Puma, Google, Michael Kors, and Nike.
In this episode, Donna and I go deep on:
Creating for you vs. following trends.
Focusing on the passion over making money in the beginning.
Going with your gut and chasing what scares you.
Time management, productivity, and avoiding distractions.
Mindset, confidence, finding your style, and more.
If you’re ready to focus on doing YOU vs. worrying about what everyone else is doing, then this episode was made for you.
