Here Ally shares her tips for starting a business or going freelance.

What piece of advice would you give to your younger self?

Stop comparing yourself to other people, stop procrastinating, and stop worrying so much about what people might think.

What is one tip for people starting their own business?

There’s never going to be a perfect time to start doing what you want to do. There’s always a reason to put things off until later, but time goes much faster than you think. You’ll always regret not doing it at all over not doing it in the perfect way.

Starting a business is all about growing and learning. There was so much I didn’t know when I went freelance, but I took the plunge anyway and have learnt so much over this time and figured it out along the way.

There are always going to be situations out of your control or that don’t go how you planned, but everything is a learning experience.

If you could be immortal, what age would you choose to stop aging at and why?

Probably 25. As I am 29 now, I feel like 25 is the perfect mid twenties age where I felt like I had gained some experience but still had so much time ahead of me. That might just be because I’m dreading turning 30 though!
