Stuck in the Groundhog Day grind of your corporate life?
The Davis Daily is a blog for aspiring freelancers, soon-to-be business owners, and early-stage entrepreneurs – featuring personal experiences and inspirational stories to remind you there’s more to life than the same ole, same ole.
It’s a testament to what happens when you choose to chase dreams. When you:
- dedicate yourself to personal growth and professional development;
- commit to quality self-care and effective time management; and
- take control of your life and your future.
Life, under construction:
it’s a hell of a trip
Join me as I share my journey to change – from the failures and setbacks to the wins and the milestones – and how the trip thus far has improved my personal and professional life.
A while back, I wrote about my 18-month adventure from freelance copywriter to writing full-time for a leading creative agency in Ottawa.
All while working 60+ hours a week managing one of Canada’s largest paddlesports centres.
Get the whole story here.
Which brings us back to the Davis Daily – where I continue to tell the tale of personal growth and professional development, with fresh weekly content every Monday and Wednesday to keep you inspired.
It’s time to take the helm and steer towards a more fulfilled life. Check out the most recent blog posts below.
