These illustrations accompanied female entrepreneurs’ advice on tackling business challenges for The Yellow Collective’s November issue, “Conflict.”
I kept a rounded, doodle-y quality to each illustration to express humor around business owners' shared struggles, often being nebulous and a little existential, while requiring consistent, concrete steps to push through.
Challenge No. 1: You have to change your business model.
Put that thing back where it came from or so help me.
Challenge No. 2: You're letting self-care fall by the wayside.
If only face masks could answer your emails.
Challenge No. 3: You don't have monetary backing or funds.
Challenge No. 4: You're terrified of failing.
It can really make you want to jump out of your clothes!
Challenge No. 5: You're falling into the comparison trap.
Counting the likes and waiting on affirmation is no way to drive your business. Push through knowing what you have to offer is unique, and stay true to it!
