Today With Amber Guyton:
Today on A Well Designed Business, I'm joined by Amber Guyton, the creative force and entrepreneurial mind behind Blessed Little Bungalow. Amber's journey from corporate America to the design world is anything but typical - she left a six-figure tech job to pursue her passion, and has since created a multi-faceted business as a designer, influencer, product creator, and soon-to-be property investor.
LuAnn Nigara and Amber Guyton's Ah-Ha Moments:
“I am all about community over competition.” - Amber
"You know who doesn't feel imposter syndrome? Actual imposters. They're not worried about imposter syndrome. They're just out here doing." - Amber
“Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.” - Amber
"Burnout is real and you have to take care of yourself. You can't pour from an empty cup…You have to be just a forever student and remain curious, but that gut feeling? You can't ignore it because that's wisdom." - Amber
"When it's a ‘No’ for you, it's not going to be good for either one of you. So you're doing a diservice to both of you…If it's ‘No,’ just get the emotion out of it and recognize something isn't fitting.” - LuAnn
