When business started difficulties overcame:
“Getting over myself… Most of my business is online and I didn’t know that that world existed. I was hardly ever on social media so there was a big learning curve for one. And then just really see myself as a leader, that I could be a leader in the space especially just coming into it from outside and not having been part of that world just felt like a big jump for me. And I just got cut up with lots of fear, like putting it off and putting it off.

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“Get very clear on your vision. Your ideas, what you want, what you dream about creating is all very valid. Of course, it’s important to validate an idea but I also think it is important to allow yourself to dream and push the needle a little bit because sometimes some of the best inventions have been the thing that people didn’t know someone needed… so allow yourself to dream and vision things and then testing things out I think is the best thing you can do for your business. And definitely work on your mindset, your confidence, your things of yourself you feel you have to hide and shave off. Sanitise and learn to call those back so that you can be more of yourself and show up in a more unique way. It’s so much more memorable than just being professional and doing what everyone else is doing. So let yourself be you and shine through your business.” (4 Lines minimum – if less then need more quotes) …[Listen for More]
