This week I welcome the super successful Rosie Fraser for a chat on business and Life:
Shelley: I became aware of you as, an estate agent. And everywhere I went
and everywhere I go, Rosie, I see your face. And I said, wow. Who is this? A
while ago, I thought, who is this person? You just told me before we come on
air there, that you started on your own, in your own business about a year ago.
And I'm like, it's got to be more than that. I'm thinking to myself, I've seen
you everywhere, it seems, for ages. So whatever you're doing, Rosie, you're
doing really well. And I can see it. I can see online, I can see you visually,
I could see your presence and your reach. It's massive, what you've done in
such a short space of time. So you're talking about your childhood and
adversity, which is one thing, obviously used a lot of that to propel yourself
to the point where you're 28 now.
Rosie: 28, yeah.
Shelley: Ah, working for yourself, and
you've got this really successful business, which for me, I just absolutely
love that. I want to talk about role models in a bit, but, Rosie, for any young
girl, growing up, we need to see more people like you. We need to see I think
it.
Rosie: Is how you view it, though. Do you
not think so? I think it's the things that you go through. Like, you could
either look back on it and be, oh, that was terrible, and that's why my life's
going to be terrible going forward. I didn't have a great start. So that means
that everything was set up to then be miserable. Or I think you could look at
it and say, well, that was what the cards that you've been dealt, because often
a lot of especially your childhood and things, it's out with your control,
isn't it? You don't have that control over it. And this is the lessons I've
learned from that. This is the way I don't want things to be. I think it does
depend on the way you look at it. and, I got approached by, somebody messaged
me on LinkedIn the other day, and I was reading it, and he's asked if there's
so there's the kids in in high school, when they do their their exam
timetables, some of them, yeah. When they, when they do their exam timetables,
the kids who aren't going in for their exams, high school, they get their
timetables filled up with, like, people go in and give motivational talks about
other routes to success in life. And I do think that I think that just because
it very much depends on how you look at it, and just because your early years
haven't been I think if you then use that as, like, the victim culture, I don't
have to say political correction. If you cut that out, I don't know if you're
allowed to say that, but I think it very much depends on the mindset. Like, you
either see yourself as a victim for that, or you see yourself as a survivor
from that, and you take that stuff on with you.
