Today marks the one-year anniversary of HAF Creative. It’s been quite a year, and I’m incredibly grateful to the clients who have hired me, the editors who have assigned stories to me, the people who have referred me and the amazing group of friends, colleagues and family who have supported me over the last year.
For me, staking out my own little corner of the small business world has been very freeing. I’ve been able to choose the projects I want and focus my energies on the kind of work that I most enjoy. My work is split between writing and editing projects and marketing and PR.
Over the year, I’ve written for many of the publications in the Charleston area. My marketing clients are small businesses and nonprofits. I take great pride in sharing their stories with the public. I rarely look for new work. Much of it comes from referrals and networking – a testament to the power of a person’s reputation and building relationships in a community.
There have been some bumps as any person who is self-employed will attest. But I firmly believe I made the right decision a year ago. I prayed about this endeavor and know my blessings over the last year are God-given.
I have some exciting new projects on the horizon for 2013 – both personally and professionally – so stick with me. You don’t want to miss what’s coming!
Congratulations on your first year. Way to go!
