when in doubt, source it out.

This morning I was cleaning up files on my computer and stumbled upon the original packaging for purely elizabeth gluten free muffin mix.  Now when I say original, I mean, the labels that I created before asking for help.  You see, I'm the type of person that enjoys doing everything, well most everything. Especially anything creative (I actually had a stint at FIT in accessories design). I like to try and figure out many things on my own, which is why it is sometimes hard to ask for help. My graphic designer Jen, got wind of what I was doing and immediately offered to "clean things up a bit". Here's version I from me:

And version II from Jen:

Lesson learned...There is a reason people specialize in certain areas and are experts.  When in doubt, source it out.  Even if it costs extra money and time, it is most often worth the expert advice in the long run.  Thank you to my graphic designer Jen at 4:52 design, for her incredible work and never-ending help and to Miha, my amazing food photographer who helped to make the muffins so visually delicious.

Is there an area in your business or life that you know you should be asking for help but think you can do it on your own?   Would love to hear about it...

purely yours,
