Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Brandon Manaa, Founder of Higher Perspective Art, located in Lexington, SC, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

At Higher Perspective Art, we strive to make art that connects with the viewer, the community, and the earth as a whole. Our customers are lovers of natural beauty, attention to detail, and quality craftsmanship.

Tell us about yourself

The beauty of the natural world inspires me every day to create. I love to make art with anything found in nature. Clay was an unfamiliar medium but quickly became my go-to for creating images in my imagination. It started at an old mine in SC. I was looking for some quartz crystals when I stumbled upon a pocket of clay. I pushed my finger into the malleable orange mush and found a very grounding and stabilizing experience when doing so. I thought to myself, "If I don't find crystals, maybe I can do something with this clay."

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Getting recurring customers that love my work and teaching classes to help others on their journey.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

I would say being consistent during the hard times. It's easy when everything goes your way, but it's hard to do the work when you don't see the results.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Have a clear image in your mind as to what you want to accomplish or do with your business.
  2. Make a plan of action that will get you to that goal step by step.
  3. And most importantly, be consistent in executing your plan every single day.

Where can people find you and your business?
