I’m a business owner BUT
🌞 I had zero experience in business before I began 7 years ago…I just loved to bake and was sick of my current job as a support worker….
actually, unless you count 1 year a level business studies (you probably shouldn’t 🫠)
🌞 7 years in I still often feel I’m just winging it and wish someone would just step in and tell me what I’m supposed to do….(although I always think I know best so who knows if I would even listen 🙈)
🌞 I only work with women.
Not as a rule (but kind of) the world of retreats is very female dominated which suits me just fine.
The very few times I worked with men it was rarely smooth and usually felt too businessy
Plus It’s nice to be understood, chat about hormones & periods & girls stuff rather than meaningless small talk
🌞 I’m a pretty inconsistent person - my energy levels dip and my enthusiasm wavers, I’ve learnt to go with it and trust it always comes back I just need regular breaks….preferably hanging out with seals
🌞 Organisation did not come naturally to me…I’m naturally a head in the clouds kinda girl so I’ve had to pick up a fair few skills along the way which wasn’t easy but so so worth it for business and general life
🌞 There really is no set way to build/own/run a business, it’s an unknown co cocreation between you and your creative ideas
