What would you do if you started to lose the creativity and passion you had for your business? Would you close it down? And what if that business was a multi-million dollar cult-followed brand loved by the likes of Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Eva Mendes?
Samantha Wills started her now-renowned brand Samantha Wills Jewellery when she was just 21.
