This year, learning and creating are my top priorities. To make sure I’m continuously working on both, I made the intentions of scrolling through social media less, reading and writing more and mainly, investing in my career. I’ll admit, it took me quite some time to finally get to this point where I see myself as my best investment.
My mindset now is all about investing in opportunities that add value to my life, aid in my personal and entrepreneurial growth, enhance mindfulness and hopefully meet and network with like-minded people throughout my journey. Do you have similar priorities that you’re working towards achieving this year? If so, here are seven conferences to attend that will help nurture your creative and entrepreneurial goals – one in which I’ve attended and others that are on my wish list.
