"Surround yourself with people that really believe in you and your business. The rest doesn't matter. They will only think you are crazy. But have they created themselves a business? Did they get out of their comfort zone? Did they ever take a real risk?"
Go for it! Don’t be afraid, and if you are, that’s good.
"When I'm feeling down, reminding myself of the journey so far and everything I've learned. Resilience is also important. I know my project could fail for whatever reason, but even if I had to go back to the corporate world, the growth I have had is valuable and I know it will serve me somehow in my journey."
Creating your own business is the best teacher you can have
"I feel that creating your own business is the best teacher you can have. It’s so pertinent and enriching. You learn everything from creating a website to using Excel, talking to clients, using social media… But the most valuable skill that I have developed is persistence. Since you have no choice but to make it work, you always find a solution."
Surround yourself with people who encourage you and believe in you
"Work on your visibility, make connections, become a member of the association for entrepreneurs, surround yourself with people who encourage you and believe in you. It is important not to be alone on this adventure."
