Changed my life!
This review is long overdue, but I can’t thank these four enough. I have always wanted to be an illustrator and you guys showed me how to make that possible under my unique circumstances. About 2(?) years ago, while pregnant and planning to leave my decently-paying but dreadful graphic design job, I listened to the episodes on digital products and passive income. I did end up leaving my job and our income was cut in half, and it wasn’t until a few months after our son was born that I decided to jump into the digital product world. I will just preface this next part by saying our son was a terrible sleeper and to definitely definitely do this before you have kids if you can 😬 It was very hard with a newborn, but I’d do it again if I had to. I opened an Etsy shop selling nursery and kids wall art (all digital, no shipped prints) and worked on it for about two hours a day for several months. I’m about a year and a half in and am making twice as much as a did at my full-time jobs and working half the time. I have my own website and plan to expand into other marketplaces later this year. All the while being a SAHM to my now 1.5 year old. You guys changed my life forever because of your insights and willingness to share your experiences. I could write a novel on what this journey has looked like, and have been able to help a few other designer friends get on the same path because of your advice. I can’t thank you enough and still tune in weekly for new episodes. It’s always uplifting to listen in on your conversations! I can’t see myself ever going back to full time employment and am so excited for the future now. Thoroughly enjoying the freedom this lifestyle offers. Thank you so much!

The subject of self doubt got me clicking the Design Cuts newsletter link.. thought I might listen for 5 mins or so. Actually listened to the lot as it all seemed so familiar! Great advice too. I think I do spend too much time doubting my work, hopefully I can put a few things in to practice and...Read full review »
