Knowing When To Step Away From Your Small Business

This week, Sister Magazine founder and writer Rebecca Jane Hill speaks about her journey running an independent publication and her decision to close it down.

This week, we're delighted to be sharing a piece by Rebecca Jane Hill. In February, Becky announced she was stepping back from her decade-long role as Editor of her publication, Sister Magazine (Si apre in una nuova finestra).

Inspired by her moving words that she shared via Substack (Si apre in una nuova finestra), we reached out to Becky to hear more about what led her to this decision, and the difficulty of having to face this reality for a personal and long-term project.

The creative industry can definitely be guilty of sharing and celebrating big wins without ever sharing the moments when projects fall through, budgets fail or leases can't be renewed. In the name of transparency, we wanted to share Becky's unique perspective during this time.
