My latest blog posts have been talking about external influences or internal entrepreneur dilemmas, but today I thought I’d bring it back to the business. Where are we and what’s happening next?
The Goldfish Mentality
Human Connection
This blog post is going to be as humanly raw as possible. I’m going to open myself up and let you into my real world. Let’s start with a Lucy Rose update. We are working on the LR5 (or fifth prototype) which will be better than the last one and will be the one that some actual women other than myself can try on!
If you want to go far, go together:
As the saying goes, if you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together. This week I had a great meeting with a shoe consultant who has been in the industry for years. As someone new in the industry (and extremely naïve), I was worried about this meeting. I thought it could go one of two ways; either extremely positive about the concept and how she could really help me. Or feeding my doubt of how hard it’s going to be. Thankfully, it was the former.
And Relax
I decided that last Friday I would take the day off work. “Day off from what?!” my inner voice kept saying, but I ignored her, and I am currently writing this in a spa.
Sat in the spa, I also have a great book with me called Self Care for the Real World. It has tips and tricks to help you get the most out of yourself from food and drink recipies to yoga exercises and meditation techniques.
Self Belief vs Self Confidence
I recently found out the difference between self belief and self confidence and how a lot of people get them mixed up. I thought I was lacking in self belief, but I’m actually lacking in self confidence. The difference being the belief in your own abilities. I think many of us think that we can’t do something, but often surprise ourselves when we do.
Look how far you've come
Do you remember when you wanted to be where you are now? Do you remember being stressed that you wouldn’t find the right job, that you wouldn’t get the result you wanted from Uni? But look at you, you are here now in a job you love with a University Degree. One of my biggest problems is I do not look back to see how far I’ve come. I’m always longing to be in the future.
