Do these things before you begin your business.
Hello soon-to-be business owners!
If I could wave a magic wand and go back to help past Steph as she began her journey 10 years ago (that’s before Instagram, remember) as a business owner, here’s what I’d tell her to do.
Learn how to create, manage and stick to a budget for 2 full months before you begin a business.
Set your schedule. When will you work? When will you have down time? Stick to that for 2 months before you begin your business.
Take 30 minutes EVERY DAY and just think. Just sit there. Don’t do anything except write what comes to your mind. Empty it out of all the thoughts it’s having. Take a deep breath. Relax.
Tell yourself you love yourself every single day. Look in that mirror. And truly connect with that girl in the mirror. Tell her that she is worthy and loved and lovable and that you love her, too.
That’s it. I wouldn’t do much except that.
It would have changed everything for me.
