Self-Belief and Lifelong Learning

I would say first and foremost believe in yourself. Trust your abilities and believe that you have what it takes to succeed. Confidence in yourself is a powerful asset. Define your short-term and long-term goals. Having a clear vision will guide your actions and decisions as you build your business.  Stay curious and commit to lifelong learning. Keep yourself updated on industry trends, market changes, and new technologies that may impact your business. Build a strong professional network. Attend industry events, join entrepreneurial communities, and connect with like-minded individuals. Networking can open doors to opportunities and collaborations. Embrace failure as a learning opportunity. Understand that failure is a part of the entrepreneurial journey. Learn from your mistakes, adapt, and use setbacks as stepping stones to future success. Finally, running a business can be demanding, but it's crucial to prioritize self-care. Take breaks, get enough sleep, and engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Entrepreneurship can be challenging, but passion is a driving force. Stay true to your passion, and let it fuel your determination and commitment.

Identify Core Values for Success

Follow your instincts and trust yourself to identify your true core values that shape and define you on a daily basis. The inner spark that makes you want to radiate while working on your passion is the key to steady growth and success.

Resilience, Mentorship, and Vision

To young women embarking on the entrepreneurial path, my advice is to embrace resilience, seek out mentorship, and remain steadfast in your vision. The entrepreneurial journey is replete with challenges, but it's your unique perspective and innovative ideas that will set you apart. Never underestimate the value of building a strong network and continuously investing in your personal and professional growth.

Radiate Your Light and Persist

Do not give up on your dream, You were Born To radiate your light to the world so shut the outside noise & get to work!

Embrace Challenges and Stand Bold

Believe in yourself. It isn't an easy road, but it's doable. You will have to come out of your comfort zone in many ways, you'll have to be bold, and courageous, because there will be many men out there who not only dominate the business world, but have stereotypical thoughts on women in business and you have to not only prove them wrong but be bold enough to stand your ground. Do not be afraid to address the elephants in the room such as topics like pricing, employment and contracts etc Surround yourself with other strong women you can learn from, and if you can obtain a mentor, do so. Write your goals, ambitions and dreams down, because if you don't 9/10 they won't happen From every job you do, take 20% of that and put it into a savings pot labelled Tax, because at the end of the year you don't want to be strapped for cash to pay the tax man, also take out a further 10% as a savings account for a rainy day. When you're scared to jump - do it anyway! What's the worst that can happen??? YOLO Don't stop networking Take up every opportunity you can. Don't do things for 'free' make sure you are getting some benefit in kind and it's proportional to the service you're providing. When quoting someone, check out their business on Companies House first. Don't respond to negative emails in haste, write it, don't send it, sleep on it, then review it in the morning, amend and then send. Have boundaries, be vocal about them and make sure if someone crosses them, they know about it. If you mess up with a client, be upfront about it. Being honest and truthful works better in so many ways rather than trying to cover things up - integrity is everything. Enjoy the journey and take time to celebrate your wins. When you do have wins, big one, write them down and buy yourself something to immortalise it, for example, I purchase Kokeshi dolls and hope to have a cabinet full of them as my achievements. And ultimately, have NO REGRETS

Overcome Fear and Take Action

If it were easy everyone would do it!

Invest Wisely and Take Risks

Don't think too much when you are investing your Resources, Time & Money in the business...! Invest in Manpower, Invest in infrastructure, Invest in Technology, Invest in Plant & Machinery, Invest in Networking, Invest in Marketing...concept of saving or 'this is enough' will not help in scaling your business. Take risks...I know that's against our feminine nature but then that's the main breakeven required to become a successful entrepreneur.

Believe in Your Journey

Back yourself, believe in your journey and others will believe in you.

Overcome Biases with Confidence

Experience overweighs any gender biases. The woman who believes in the power of her dreams, holds the power to move the mountains. Never underestimate yourself.

Trust Yourself and Document Vision

First & foremost believe in Yourself! Have a vision and document your way to reach your vision. There might be failures but one has to re-assess , understand the bottleneck & start with the venture. understand your bottleneck and find that resource person who can fill that bottleneck to have a successful business. There is no terminology of success & hence your vision, your execution is your success. climb your ladder with patience step by step and you will reach your destination with Happiness !
