Rising Stars: Meet Taylor Gonzales

Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor Gonzales.

Hi Taylor, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
After 18 years in the hospitality industry and a worldwide pandemic, my journey to entrepreneurship started. As a self-taught graphic designer and web designer, I had experience working with client collaboration, but in 2020 it was time to take my work and myself a little more seriously.

During the pandemic, I began Daytrip Creative, a one-stop-shop for emerging entrepreneurs and small businesses to establish a professional online presence, get coaching on how to get started in the online space, and, most importantly, develop their brand and ideas. As an entrepreneur, you are only as good and successful as you believe you are. Daytrip helps small business owners feel confident about their vision and online visual representation.

My passion for helping entrepreneurs and small business owners grow past their internal blocks has led me to develop my second business, Taylored Healing Hypnosis. Taylored Healing works with clients to heal inner blocks and grow past them through hypnosis.

As an avid meditator and strong believer in self-empowerment, Taylor created Taylored Healing and Daytrip Creative to help you make sure your mind’s right and that you look good while you’re doing it.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Mostly yes, it has been smooth. The primary challenges that I’ve encountered are internal.

Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. Owning your own business is a challenge in the best of settings. Some of the main challenges I’ve faced are learning how to create a consistent client flow, but beyond that, it’s believing in myself enough to invest in my dreams.

Now that I’ve spent time (through meditation and hypnosis) developing the mindset piece of being a business owner, the struggles seem much less daunting. I know that I will find a way and find success in whatever wrapping that may come.

Developing a solid self-belief, empowerment, and trust has been the most challenging struggle along the way and the most rewarding.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
In 2009, I became a certified Kundalini yoga teacher.

During that process and copious amounts of meditation, I became passionate about creating t-shirt and clothing designs that were spiritually minded while still being socially relevant. This passion ignited by my spiritual practice has become the basis of my website and graphic design business.

After over a decade of doing small freelance jobs for clients, Daytrip Creative was born. The things that sets my work apart from other designers is the personal care and attention given to each individual I work with. Unlike some designers, my work is about celebrating the client’s success. I am here as a guide.

When we work together, the client is simply borrowing my skillset to make their vision come alive. It’s not about the ego of my portfolio as a designer. My passion is for helping people, and graphic design and the website design are one of the ways I can do that.

I specialize in creating beautiful websites through Squarespace, but I also work on most other platforms. At the end of our project, my goal is to have a beautiful product and clarity and excitement around this new visually stunning aspect of your business.

My care for the success of entrepreneurs as individuals has led me to develop Taylored Healing Hypnosis. We can address any self-limiting beliefs, internal roadblocks, or personal challenges together.

The thing that sets me apart is that I care about people, not just the product. I want to help you be the best version of you, however possible.

Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
If any artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, or small businesses are in need of stepping up their online presence, they can visit DaytripCreative.com to set up a FREE consultation call about their project.

I also offer coaching for DIYers who need help with Canva, graphic design, or creating an online marketing strategy that works for them. I also work with businesses to great logos and style guides.

If anyone is having internal blocks, poor self-talk or imposter syndrome has taken a hold of their lives, they can set up a hypnotherapy appointment with me at TayloredHealing.com. We can address the issues that are holding you back, so you can take yourself (or your business) to the next level.
