DESIGN YOUR ONLINE CREATIVE BUSINESS

What does it mean to "Follow One's Life Passions?"  A life passion can be described as an internal desire and enthusiasm consisting of the motivational drive to pursue a goal which is aligned with one's life vision and purpose . It is the pursuit of a goal which enables you to fulfil your greatest potential whilst following the path of least resistance. For instance, a purposeful and intentional life path, which enables you to feel internally fulfilled, regardless of external challenges and influencing factors.  A passion does not operate independently from a life purpose and vision,  "Reason Why."

This past week, I received an Event Invitation Notification via my Pinterest App to attend Pinterest Creators Festival which was held on 20 th October 2021. I am pleased to have attended as it was an inspirational and motivational event filled with exciting new updates for Digital and Social Media Creators.  If you haven’t had the opportunity yet as a Content Creator to start using the platform for your content creation, now is the best time to start. I’ll be quite honest prior to using the platform, I didn’t think Pinterest was an ideal platform for me to use for the type of content I create (i.e. Entrepreneurship Mindset, Digital and Social Media Content). This was because, I didn't see the benefits I could actualize on the platform as a Content Creator, or fully understand how the platform worked.  I also thought it was a platform mainly for Shopping, Leisure and Travel related content only, I've been proven wrong ever since.

It comes from an internal natural desire to share educational information for the benefit of helping others and contributing to greater causes beyond oneself. It is linked to what motivates and inspires you to get out of bed everyday; your Reason Why (Life vision) and intended purpose in life .

Be able to demonstrate the quality and value of your service through your work ethic and core values. Also commit to providing responsive/timely services just as you stated as part of your business service delivery. This will help in
