What Would You Add To This List?

Hello everyone!

Hope you’ve had a great week – Olympics watching like me? ?? ?? ??? ??♀?

The tennis was certainly memorable, not all of it for the right reasons.

We said goodbye to Andy and most probably Rafa too. ??

There was the joy of ‘Nadalcaraz’ in doubles. ?? ????

The bitter disappointment of the Gold Medal match last Sunday. ?? ????

And so many brilliant, uplifting moments from Team GB. ????

Time to think

In the first week of my no Zoom August, I’ve also been enjoying a bit of ‘brain rest’ and reflection time.

It’s important to recognise the joy in every day…. even in the simple pleasures we take for granted like just sitting with a cup of tea.

One of the things I’ve been thinking about are things I’ve learnt during my time in business.

I asked myself the question:

What do I think about business?

And so many thoughts came tumbling out.

There are more… but here’s my starter for 12:

1.?Business is very simple really - it's all about connection and building relationships.??

2. Shiny objects come and go. Try not to get sucked in.???

3. Pay attention to your intuition. It's usually trying to tell you something valuable.????

4. You will always be scared - of something. Say hello to it but try not to let it control you.?

5. Experiments won't always work. But have fun trying them out.????

6. Looking after YOU is the most important thing on your to-do list.?

7. When things don't work out -- don't make it mean something negative about YOU.????

8. There are enough clients out there for everyone. The world is full of lovely people just waiting for your help.?

9. Marketing is NOT all about social media. Many people have brilliant businesses without it.????

10. A decision that feels scary today you probably won't even remember this time next year.?

11. You have the power to STOP doing the things you don't want to do any time you like. It's YOUR business.????

12. Bigger doesn't always mean better.??

If someone had told me these when I first started out it would have saved me a lot of time, money and stress!

Though I probably wouldn’t have believed some of them anyway!

What do you think?

?Any to add to the list?

?Reply back to me and let me know.

?I’d love to hear from you.

Have a wonderful week. ??
