15 inspiring Instagram accounts to follow as a start-up business Posted on: October 19, 2017 by Gemma Russo Instagram has over 300 million monthly active users. That’s huge, right? So if you aren’t yet taking advantage of it as a start up to feel more inspired and be more productive then now is the time to get a little more cosy with it. Running a start-up is hard work – there’s no denying that. So we’ve pulled together 15 beautiful and wonderful feeds that can help you feel more inspired and empowered! 1. Start up creative A beautiful feed full of bold inspiration quotes and vibrant photography of life as an entrepreneur. From the classic ‘coffee cup on the table’ shot to awe-worthy places to visit when you’re earning megabucks, it’s a truly beautiful feed. For us, it summarises life as a start up – the fun, the excitement… and the need for inspirational quotes. Did you know… Absolute freedom exists? That you are creator of your life experience & that it is absolutely and only up to you? Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to design & live the life of your dreams? Do not give away your freedom so easily, it’s time for you to commit to being who you truly are… You are free. You always have been free. You always will be free to make your own choices. Do not give your power away by allowing others to dictate how you ‘should’ live your life. It’s time to let go of the conditioning that you have received from your circumstances, step into your power & design the life of your dreams. #startupcreative A post shared by StartUp Creative (@startupcreative) on Oct 15, 2017 at 9:50am PDT 2.

You’re SO not alone! We all have days like this, many of us even have weeks, months or years like this. The longer I’m in this blogging world, the more I learned to accept the fact that there will always be more projects than I have time for, and more tasks that should be done than actually will get done. If I let that stress me out, I will spend my life being stressed. So I choose instead to simply do the best I can. A post shared by Aby Moore (@youbabymemummy) on Oct 18, 2017 at 11:00pm PDT 7.
