In this weeks episode of Digital Circus LIFE- The small business podcast Rebecca from Wild Apple Designs discusses her desire to turn her passion of fine art into a full-time career and her transition toward that goal. She's driven by both business and personal objectives, including retiring early and even pursuing her passion for gardening!

Rebecca emphasised the importance of not compromising her love for helping people while achieving her own financial freedom. Throughout the interview Rebecca questions whether she should turn her art hobby into a full-fledged business. She acknowledges that her book design business will always be there, offering her opportunities to grow in various directions. 

She recounts her journey from her early days working in magazines to an in-house role at Oxford University Press and eventually establishing her own design company, Wild Apple Design. She is absolute living proof that hard work, networking, and dedication pays off when growing an established business with a small and focused team.  She also discusses the challenge of staff management and the benefits of staying as a smaller team versus a larger one.
