The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
So many of my challenges for me have been internal, around confidence, authenticity and breaking through the fear of rejection. Additionally, it’s the challenge of actually getting your name out there! To show mums that this service exists, and convince them they will benefit from investing in themselves.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
The pros about running your own business are the flexibility to work when you choose, when inspiration hits, and around your family commitments. It’s also the freedom to take that business in whichever direction you desire, to flow with life changes, and pivot when you like. Running your own business also teaches you so much about yourself, and provides so many opportunities for personal growth.
The cons to running your own business are the discipline and organisation required, and not having someone externally keeping you accountable! You are also working so much in the unknown and aren’t guaranteed a regular income, especially when starting out.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
My podcast is definitely the focus for me right now, to build my brand and confidence sharing my message. I have a few guests planned to speak soon and share their passion and wisdom, and I’m very excited about that!
I hope to use the podcast and social media to build a community of mums who prioritise themselves, take back their power, and do life on their terms. Because a mum who feels good in who she is can give so much more to those around her.
