Have you ever wanted to start a business of your own, but just had no idea where to actually start? (& if you did ‘start’, maybe you’re not too sure how to actually grow or continue for that matter) … Yeah me too!
#NoShameInMyGame If you haven’t quite met me as yet, Hi ! My name is Carly Coutts – Adulting Specialist. LOL: Who are we even kidding here. I’m no adulting specialist. Just your average hot-mess-express on a journey to success. Back in 2016 I started this blog about the trials and tribulations of the millennial inflicted word ‘adulting’ . It’s like growing up was no longer a natural progression of life to this expressive generation. We made it a WHOLE noun (Says google & TIME: I would totally dub it a verb because that ‘ish takes ACTION – but that’s just me.). In 2017, this quirky blog about adulting launched my beloved resort wear line ‘Couttsea’ (Get it? Like Coutts and the Sea?) and soon to be my "full-time" business. Things were progressing behind the scenes at a great pace, UNTIL adulting trapped me on a hamster wheel and had me running in circles, but kept feeding me Royal Castle simultaneously so that I was putting on weight instead! Now if that’s not a page out of a bad horror movie, I don’t know what is! Key point #1: Avoid hamster wheels. They are for hamsters ONLY. Though treadmills are acceptable… Okay, so where was I? Right, luckily for us, I eventually fell off (head first) and saw the light. I realized that I was burning out while trying to make the money to keep me afloat, as I grew my brand. I would say that this was no good, but honestly, it was a great lesson in disguise. It kick started me to THIS MOMENT RIGHT HERE WITH YOU. If you’ve ever considered jumping into the deep end of self employment, starting your own thaang, or you simply can relate to the hot-mess-express life of adulting, you’re gonna wana stick around for this one. Knowledge is power my friends, and while I didn’t have the knowledge at the time, I made sure to find someone that did. You want in on the life lessons?? ? Ladies and gentlemen, A few major life changes, a letter of resignation and a panic attack later… I am actually ready for you! But this time, with a plan of action that I’m excited to share. My wish is that it will save you from a few obstacles of your own! Adulthood: You’re going DOWN this time
