My business anniversary in the sense of when I made it &#8220;official&#8221; with a name and with a website was March 29th, 2016. But, starting my business felt much slower and more subtle than that. In reality, it&#8217;s closer to 4\u00bd\u00a0 years since I started the process of starting my business. If you&#8217;ve listened to episode 1 of my podcast, then you know I worked in a corporate advertising setting for my first &#8220;real job&#8221; out of college. And, then I quit after like 3 months. I felt both excited about the possibilities ahead and crazy for leaving something that looked so good on paper. During college and while at my first job, I freelanced a lot. So naturally, once I left my job, I kept freelancing. While on the job search, I added in nannying, yoga, and dog sitting. All the random things! At some point in all of that, I decided to quit job searching and make my freelancing stuff into an actual business. Again, it all feels so subtle! It&#8217;s really a process, not a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But, the social media post I did on Instagram and Facebook to my friends and family announcing I was now &#8220;in business&#8221; happened 4 years ago. See below for a major throwback &#8211;\u00a0this is the Instagram post from my original business announcement! Things have come a long way! (And my business had a completely different name and mission back then.) Fun fact: I booked a branding project on the day I announced my business launch!\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/elizabethmccravy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Business-Announcement-Post.jpg?resize=960%2C1540&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Instagram post announcing Elizabeth McCravy's business launch.\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1540\" width=\"960\" title=\"Business Announcement Post\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>Tune into episode #60 of the Breakthrough Brand Podcast to hear 3 pieces of advice I have for you.
