Remember Why You Started

Tanwi's upcoming novel tells the story of a perfumer. She credits this investigative research as the beginning of her botanical journey. She realized she was really good at it, and built a recognizable, profitable company. How can your interests manifest themselves into your next big thing? For Tanwi, beauty felt like such a logical extension of her existing work - combining color, pigment, experience, lifestyle, and character. If your projects grow out of a genuine curiosity, you're golden. And when things get tough, remember that burst of inspiration that caused you to start in the first place.
