Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jeremy Mura, Brand designer & creator based in Marsden Park, NSW, AU.

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

I help young designers build their businesses and earn a living with brand design.

Tell us about yourself

I completed my bachelor's in visual communication (graphic design) in 2015, and I've been freelancing since 2013. I launched my business around 2016, but pushed it to the end of 2019 properly, so it's been a journey.

I love teaching others my experiences and helping them succeed because when I freelanced years ago, I made lots of mistakes, and there weren't mentors out there.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Working with big brands such as Adobe, Disneyland Paris, Macquarie Business School, etc. When I was younger, I wanted to work or collab with these brands, so it was a goal I achieved.

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

Juggling everything at once can be a challenge. Being a husband, a father, and a business owner is a lot of priorities. I must be efficient with my time and manage it well to spend more time with my family and ensure I hit my big goals.

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

  1. Focus on one thing. Try to do only a few things. Build your expertise and skills around one niche or industry.
  2. Focus on getting revenue because cash flow is the lifeblood of a business, and double down on things that work.
  3. Focus on something other than strategy first. Just take action because you learn way faster with experience and failures.
