I cannot believe it... ❤️
5 years have flown by!
Five years ago, I left my 16-year corporate career to focus on growing my personal styling business,
At the time, I thought I was building one business. I never imagined that a couple of years later I would also launch and be running two businesses that I genuinely love.
Looking back over the last five years, I feel incredibly grateful and quite emotional.
This milestone means so much because I know how hard I have worked to get here.
There have been late nights, weekends spent working, tears, setbacks and so many moments where I questioned whether I was good enough. More than once I wondered if it would be easier to go back to corporate life.
But every time those thoughts crept in, I reminded myself...
You have not worked this hard to throw it all away.
So I kept going.
Through MyStyle Buddy, I have had the privilege of helping so many women feel more confident in themselves and in what they wear.
Through virtual assistant business, I have worked with some many amazing business owners, supporting them behind the scenes and helping them achieve their goals.
Along the way, I have met incredible people through networking, collaborations, events and clients. Some have become close friends, some have opened doors to opportunities I never expected, and many have supported me more than they probably realise.
Being self-employed is hard work, but I would not change it. I am so grateful for the freedom, the variety and the opportunity to build businesses that genuinely make me happy.
To every styling client, VA client, friend, family member and person who has supported, recommended or encouraged me over the last five years... thank you. ❤️
My biggest lesson?
Get out of your comfort zone.
The opportunities will not always come looking for you. Sometimes you have to put yourself out there, take the risk and simply say yes.
Five years ago, I took a chance on myself.
Today, I am so glad I did.
Here is to five years of being self-employed... and to whatever comes next. ✨
