Something I’d tell myself five years ago.
You’re doing it.
You’re actually doing it.
You’re scared and you’re showing up anyway.
You’re building something from nothing,
in a field people don’t fully understand yet,
prepared to be judged for it.
That takes guts.
Be proud of that.
But also.
Look up more.
Your kids are all still home right now.
You’re still somewhat the centre of their worlds.
They’re still innocent in that way that doesn’t last forever.
Notice that.
Be in it.
Not because you’re getting it wrong.
Because it’s so good and it goes so fast.
The business questions don’t stop.
Will people book, will they come back, am I enough.
They just become familiar.
You learn to build alongside them instead of waiting for them to go quiet.
And the judgment you’re so afraid of?
Some people will.
Do it anyway.
Show your kids what it looks like
to believe in something and back yourself completely.
That’s the gift.
Not the perfect business.
Not the full calendar.
The fact that you had a go.
That you kept going.
That you chose something that meant something to you.
I’m proud of her.
I’m proud of me.
And I’m still going. 🌿
