If you want to be successful, you can’t just sit around and hope that opportunities will come your way. You need to work to attract them.

As an example, if you want to work on a specific style of work, or in a different speciality such as pattern design, you’re much more likely to attract that type of work if people can see your capabilities. It’s those who take action, and create the work they want to attract that become successful.

Meg Lewis is a great example of someone who takes action. She works hard to attract her own opportunities, which we discuss on this weeks podcast. We also discover how Meg found the confidence to be herself, and how she created a unique personal brand, mixing design, comedy & performance to make the world a happier place.

Meg Lewis is host of Dribbble’s Overtime podcast, and founder of multiple businesses including her own agency, Ghostly Ferns, an international collective of designers and commercial artists, and Full Time You, a personal brand and career fulfilment platform featuring books, online classes, coaching, and free advice.
