I'm baaaaaack.

It has been 2 years since my last post. I will admit that since originally starting this blog, life in Toronto has proven itself to be more of a challenge than I had originally thought. As a young professional trying to break ground in this industry, I don't think you are ever fully prepared for the challenges you will face, most importantly finding the right fit. It has taken me some time and 2 different environments to develop the plan I have now set forth going forward in my career. I have learnt that branding is one of the most crucial aspects in building any business. It is of the utmost importance to identify and develop a brand that you are proud of. I have learnt that in any environment you will be placed in, there is always going to be opportunity for conflict & encounters with those of whom you do not get along. But in order to move forward, you must overcome these challenges & never lose sight of your ultimate goal. I have learned that for every negative influence, there will be 10 supportive ones, eager to nurture & develop your talents.  I have learnt that your attitude is literally everything, & most of all I have learnt that without passion there isn't much of a point. I've been broker than broke. I've eaten nothing but Sidekicks for dinner, for weeks on end. I've had moments where I've seen the light (and the cash). I've been torn down by those who promised to help build me up & my ego has taken more blows than a box of Kleenex. But at the end of the day, I am hopeful. I am determined. I am motivated. I am successful.
