KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As a Mum, you only feel guilty when deep down you haven’t given enough time to your kids. It’s important to divide up your time and always be conscious of the fact your growing and scaling a business but that you’re also a mum. You need to find a balance, be passionate about what you do and always ask for help.
- Women have been programmed to believe that men have it better but they don’t. It’s all about having a positive mindset and focusing on what you want to achieve rather than going into business with the mantra that men have it better.
- If the world economy is going slow down over the next few years entrepreneurs must view this as an opportunity and with social media anything is possible. Entrepreneurs need to have a positive mindset and use the bubble we’re in launch their keep going, keep testing and launch their business.
- When investing in a business or launching a new idea you need to know all of the information available, do your due diligence and market research and most importantly be passionate about what you’re doing so that you fully commit to the cause.
- Too often people are just on auto-pilot but In business, you must be conscious. Having a conscious mind is stopping for a minute to plan and organise your day. Your mental state is the most important part fo your body and the language that you speak will affect your interactions with others, being conscious is strategically knowing what you’re doing and why you’re doing it
