30fg Business Podcast For Designers

I'm just about to leave my job for the second time so this is a solo episode in which I'm going to share with you a few chapters from my own story. First I want to tell you about my last business, which was a Landscape Architecture Practice I attempted to set up in Penang Malaysia. I don't have the time to explain all the details but you'll get a good idea of how it started and how it failed. I talk about all the poor decisions I made while I was there and how I ended up losing $30,000 in my first year. After that terrible fall, I knew I had to get back on my feet again and that it wouldn't be easy. Although I have taken a job for a while I think deep down I've always known that building my own business was the only way I would ever really be able to dig myself out the hole I was in. That took a lot of hard work so I’m also going to share with you exactly what my training regime was that helped me recover and reinvent myself. In this episode I also share what I’ve done to apply all the new knowledge and skill
