For new entrepreneurs it isn’t always plain sailing, but I’ve learnt a few things to keep you going along the way!
- You DO NOT need to work 20 hours a day to keep your business moving forward. Work whilst you are feeling energise and excited, when that stops put your computer down.
- It’s OK to switch weekend days with week days, providing that your working week doesn’t become 7 days long – everyone needs break.
- Nap Time is sacred – You heard me, if you are tired then sleep it off. You are running your own business for the perks right?!
- Your actual voice is better than any blog post – that’s right get out there and talk.
- Believe that your brand is changing the world, on the tough days it’s then worth getting up for!
- You aren’t going to have gains every day. But that time 50 people like your insta post, go out and celebrate like theres no tomorrow!
- Waitrose does free coffee with a Waitrose card and a banana only const 25p. Nutrition all morning long!
- Yes, it’s absolutely fine if you can only market your brand on the back of your laptop. Why else would you bother going to the expense of working in public places?
- Virtual Assistants are what make the world go around, if you can only even afford 1 hour a week, it’s worth it for the enormous help they give.
- Answering emails all day is the work of the devil. It’s OK to shut them down and get on with important projects… and close…
I hope this helps, or at least takes the pressure off a little bit. Being a new entrepreneur can be super daunting but also the most fun job you will ever have. Enjoy it!
