Founder, CEO, and Executive Creative Director
I am the founder of a creative agency making industry-leading digital experiences for brands.
I usually get to the office at 8 am and work till 6:30 pm. Prioritizing family time and balancing that with work life is important to me. My daily routine typically consists of meetings and checking in with the different teams on the status of projects. There are a few initiatives that I am directly in charge of like setting the companies culture, having a clear and successful business strategy, etc.
Here's the first step for professionals
Be willing to do some work for free or for a fee less than what it is worth when starting out. It is all about whether that sacrifice is worth it in the long run, which can be hard to predict. You just have to weigh your options.
