In this edition of So Ya Wanna Be A... we sit down with Liz Ryan of Wildflower Landscape Design. Liz, Tiff, and Beth sat down to have a fun and candid convo about how Liz got her start as a business owner, what it takes to be a self-employed landscape designer (awesome news: the barrier to entry is low, and the work is rewarding), how she juggles being a mom of two young kids, and how the pandemic has impacted Liz’s business and parenting. We also discuss the practical side of being a solopreneur—like how to get paid, why you should approach each proposal with the attention it deserves, and more. Enjoy!
