1 Month since opening my first business.

It has been roughly a month since I registered my first business, a 3D Design Agency.

4+ years in the 3D industry, and the last few have I have worked as a freelancer. I decided to register my business because of payments, taxes and that kind of stuff but figured I would be continuing to operate the same as I had as a freelancer. I was wrong.

Still doing client work, still finding clients the same way but I myself have changed. It’s like the spirit of entrepreneurship has possessed me. I have this drive to grow this business, scale beyond what I though was possible and all I want is to work towards that goal.

Before, I would do 3-5 hours a day and frequently take days off which seems like nothing now that I do 7-10 hours every day. I would rarely thing about work when I was not at my PC, now ideas are flooding my mind about how I could optimize my workflow, do marketing better or find new leads.

INTENSITY. I have never been this focused, this driven about anything and it is refreshing. 1 hour of my work a year ago and now is not the same. I get so much more done but there still isn’t enough hours in a day.

The biggest change since opening has not been the name on the invoice but rather me, my mindset and passion.

Burnout is a real thing and I am taking steps to avoid it, I want to keep this momentum rolling forever if possible.

I know I am not the only one to feel this way, would love to connect and hear other peoples’ experience.
