The Millennial Crisis

EP. 39: The reality of working for yourself | G'day Frank

This week I chat with Reagan founder of G’day Design Life & G’day Frank.

Frank is a designer, business owner, creative & mentor for designers. He has cultivated an engaged community of designers via social media sharing his wisdom on design, business and life in the most entertaining way - you’ve gotta check out his Instagram top-notch quality content.

 

We talk what it’s like to work for yourself, things to consider when wanting to build your own business, the hurdles you will face and if the glory is worth the struggle and how he made 6-figures in his first-year solo.

 

Frank is also a father and husband so we discuss the added pressure he felt to make it work, when he knew he couldn’t just eat tuna out of a can every night and had others who relied on him.
