KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are interesting aspects of being in both the entrepreneurial space and corporate space.
As an entrepreneur, you have more control and can choose what you want to do.
If you are thinking about making a transition then look at the skills and experience you already have
If you have a passion then following it can be the way to success.
As an entrepreneur, you have more flexibility but your business can be your life and passion so it’s important to try and have a balance between work and life.
Sometimes you can have people in your life who are blockers so it’s important to limit the amount of time you spend with these people to ensure they don’t hold you back.
Self-belief is vital and you need to understand yourself and know what you need to work on.
Support, encouragement and accountability are the best ways to develop a better mindset.
I’m a great believer in diversity and that everyone has the potential to be whatever they want to be.
I believe in myself, treat others as I want to be treated and always champion diversity.
Everyone can be brave and bold and brilliant.
