#3: Mike Aspinall, founder of The Crafty Gentleman:

We chatted with with Mike, founder of The Crafty Gentleman ($1.2K/month). In our interview, Mike says:

For a long time, I was hesitant to charge for my work – I was happy to work in exchange for products. But there came a point where I was being offered more work than I could have said yes to – something had to change. So I started to charge for partnerships. And brands agreed, no questions asked!

Additionally:

Make sure you enjoy what you do. If you focus on an industry or niche that you’re passionate about, the journey will be so much easier.

Further:

If you run a creative business, it’s also really important to develop a consistent visual identity.
