Over the past few years, I have learned my fair share of lessons when it comes to starting a business.

As a business owner, we all have our share of battles that lead to learning opportunities. From failed launches to overbooking myself with clients, I have had many opportunities to learn which allows me to share with you my best practices!

Today, I want to share with you my top 10 lessons that I’ve learned along the way.

1. YOU ARE THE BOSS SO THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO DECIDE TO WAKE UP AND GET TO WORK ON YOUR OWN EVERY DAY.⠀
⠀
2. WHAT YOU SAY GOES! ⠀
SO STICK TO YOUR WORD AND ALWAYS FOLLOW THROUGH.⠀
⠀
3. NOT EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE WILL BE THE “RIGHT” ONE.⠀
⠀
4. MISTAKES HAPPEN SO LEARN FROM THEM AND KEEP GOING!⠀
⠀
5. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY, ALWAYS!⠀
⠀
6. FIND A BIZ-BESTIE BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DON’T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH WHILE STARTING A BUSINESS.⠀
⠀
7. GIVE YOURSELF A SCHEDULE FOR NON-WORKING HOURS, YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WILL THANK YOU!⠀
⠀
8. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CHANGE YOUR MIND. TRUE FANS WILL FOLLOW YOU!⠀
⠀
9. CELEBRATE EVERY SUCCESS ALONG THE WAY!⠀
⠀
10. KNOW THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING CAN AND WILL MAKE A GREAT IMPACT. ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR GREATER VISION!⠀

Remember, that nothing great comes easy. Put in the work and do it in a way that lights you up!⠀
