Opening up the paperwork informing me of my new status as a licensed business owner was somehow both exhilarating and anticlimactic.

On the one hand? Wow. I’m only 24 years old, and I’m already reaching this huge milestone on my path to success as a professional writer and content strategist.

On the other hand… Wow. I have a whole hell of a lot of work to do.

It feels great, though, and I mean that. For me, “lots of work” is a beautiful thing. Not only for the sake of my income but also because I genuinely, deeply, and passionately love what I do.

Looking back, I can see all of the steps that brought me this much closer to turning that passion into my reality. Every success, every failure, and every moment of hesitation has taught me something.
