What would you love to share to encourage other women to start their own business?
There is never a right time or the right place to do something or start something. If you have an idea and you believe in it then you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Don’t wait around or someone else will come up with the same idea and will give it a go before you. There are always ways to make a start on an idea even if you have another job, even if you are a full-time mum – you just have to believe in that idea and give it a go.
What are your top tips 5 tips for entrepreneurial success?
Prioritise your to-do list, and build a do not do list – this allows you to stay focused and not waste time doing things that are not a priority.
Protect your time as you would one of your precious possessions. There is no top-up of our time, no way to claw back time wasted.
We become our thoughts, we have the ability to manifest not only the good and the joy, but also failure and disappointment – think positively.
Taking calculated risks is like oxygen to your creativity – you need to put yourself out there and out of your comfort zone in order to move forward.
You may not be able to control all the events that happen to you, but you can control the way you react to them – learn from your failures and successes and build off your experiences.
