1. Not everyone will be behind your plan to do something new or risky. Even some you thought would shout it from the rooftops, may not. But it’s okay. You will get support and cheers from people you haven’t even met yet.
2. Starting a new business from scratch costs not only your money but your TIME. So much time, time you would rather spend with your husband,children & loved ones. The early months/years, you will bend and work when you can’t really, you will make it work. You will spend money you don’t have.
3. You will learn from your mistakes, and you will learn to accept that your only human. You’re learning and that’s okay. You will learn to go with your gut instinct, this part of lone working I was not prepared for. Years of having colleagues to ask or check your decision with, taken for granted. Your initial instinct is usually right.
4. If you’re like me you will CRY a lot 😂 the overwhelm, the fear of judgement, the lack of self belief. The daily thoughts of “no one will come” “I’ll have no bookings”. The constant voice telling you that you will have to return to those gruelling 12 hours shifts of literal blood, sweat and tears.
5. There is no set timeline to how your little business is going to grow. But if you are yourself and put your clients first it WILL happen. And in no time you will be wondering how to slow it down a little 😳😂
