My guest on The Creative Leap this week is Fashion Brand Consultant, Elizabeth Stiles. Elizabeth has worked in fashion for her whole career and, unlike most people who end up with their own business, loved the jobs she had and the places she worked. She took to self-employment when she realised the knowledge she had could help lots of people with their own fashion brands and could work in fashion in a different way.

We talk about why taking your own knowledge for granted is easy but could be holding you back, leaving a job you love to start a business and how to create sellable services in a niche you haven’t seen before.
