I’m a very down to earth, modest girl who doesn’t think much about my entrepreneurial nature or my creative abilities. Don’t get me wrong, I am proud that I can start and run a successful business and I do think I am creative, but beyond that I don’t think much about it. That is until I hear from friends and people I meet how awesome they think it is that I run a business that affords me the ability to do something creative. And when I think of it that way I feel not only a great sense of accomplishment, but also I appreciate what I do for a career all the more. I guess it is about luck somewhat, but more so about nature. Being creative and operating a business seems so much of ’who I am’ and while I have of course honed skills to do so, doing what I do feels more natural than nutured.

My mind is always racing with ideas for new businesses and I truly love the ins and outs of operating a business…keeping organized, watching the dollars, implementing new sales strategies, and even customer service. I am lucky in that way, because most people get one–the creative side or the entrepreneurial side. Many artists have difficulty in business because it’s generally a different type of person who excels in either. I owe my ability to doing well in both aspects to the fact that I’m a Leo with my moon in Virgo (based on the date, time of day and where I was born). Leo is the creative, unorganized part of me and the Virgo is the alter ego–the anal, problem solver in me. Yes, I have had some internal struggles with this, but I am still a lucky girl because I get to do what I love on both accounts.
