Girl, I survived…

🍻I saw a job advertised for a barmaid in Germany in local a newspaper in Galway
✍️I wrote my Cv by hand
✉️Walked to the post office to post it
📞Had an interview over phone
✈️Flew to Germany with NO German language
🙋🏻‍♂️Meet the manager of the bar at the airport with no phone to contact him
🙋‍♀️I figured out trains, shops, my new job etc by asking real people questions
🛋️I found the furniture for my unfurnished apartment on the street that’s how they did then - a blue leather sofa !
✉️I wrote letters home
📺I watched 7th Heaven in German to try learn language , I used post it notes on items to learn words
🌍 I made amazing new friends

I did all this without AI, Google maps, Apps

I survived by living in the present moment always

Did you travel like this ? Let me know where you went below ⬇️

Girl, I did all that without AI , Google maps, and an App ….

Imagine seeing a job in a newspaper, calling the landline , posting a handwritten CV, then flying over to take the job
I couldn’t send a CV by email, I couldn’t google the business , I couldn’t get AI to make my CV I used pen and paper.

I had no mobile when I landed in Germany so I trusted the bar manager would meet me .. a stranger I got in his car!

Built I life in Germany just figuring it out IRL !!!

I had Instagram so I told no one

I survived by speaking to locals , finding train station by walking and asking questions

I couldn’t speak German 😆

There was no online shopping, in fact back then people would leave unwanted furniture on the street I got a blue leather sofa for my little unfurnished apartment and made a bed from pallets 🙈

This was life back then

We were so present in moment

Life was about doing and achieving to survive in that moment.

Remembering to slow down 🌀
To honour the turn of the Celtic wheel

16 gorgeous Bean Feasa gathered with me tonight to drop into stillness for a moment as the wheel turns and we slide into the Dark 🌀Giamos

We gathered in a circle, found some silence , we let go what no longer serves us. We set a little intention for the season ahead - the Yin feminine time that is unfolding as the veil thins

We sipped cacao in a circle in silence because sometimes we just need to say nothing 🤫

Followed by an hour of Yin yoga it was delicious 💙

Big go raibh mile to Emma from .andspark for organising this as a Cafe Lates event with GCC

Finding time in life to gather side by side with other women is special , honouring our ancestors the women who have gone before us, and the great Irish godess the Cailleach ☘️

Tonight was pure speisialta ✨✨

Gra Mor to the women who came and trusted the process so sorry we couldn’t take anymore I know we had a long waiting list

Next Yin is 10th Nov link in bio to book ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Would you empty your business’s bins if you knew there was money hiding in them? 💰🗑️

Because I bloody did. 😂

When I decided to improve the gross profit in my restaurant, I didn’t just put the prices up and hope for the best.

I got into the detail.

Together with the team we tracked our weekly spend.

My head chef & Manager did regular stocktakes.

We Costed every item properly.

Made sure our selling prices reflected our costs.

Worked with suppliers.

And tracked food waste.

Yes, I actually emptied the food bins to see what we were throwing away.

Not glamorous. But very revealing.

We worked on growing our gross profit margin by 10 percentage points, towards 77%.

And here’s the bit I really want women in business to understand.

The money you save in your business can become the money that builds your wealth.

I started investing the money I’d saved.

Now that money is working for me too, with the potential to grow through investment returns and compounding.

And it all started with understanding my numbers.

You can be flat out busy, turning over good money and still be missing opportunities to improve your profit.

Sometimes the answer isn’t another customer.

Sometimes it’s looking at what’s already happening inside your business.

Even if that means getting your hands dirty. 🙈

Know your numbers, ladies. They might just set you free.

And tell me, would you empty the bins to improve your profit? 😂 I need to know I am not crazy 😆😆

My Granny Peggy was born in Wales 1914, while working as nurse in London she fell in love in with my Grandad Sonny and moved back to the arse hole of nowhere in the west of Ireland 😆

She had choices

But nothing like the ones I have now

I remember her so much while living my life, she would have been a brilliant womens coach, she cut out every job she saw that would suit one of us and posted it us!
She nursed everyone in the village where she lived always supporting others.
She instilled this in my mother who also became a nurse and the greatest supporter of women ever 🧡

I didn’t catch it from the wind 🫶

No days off, no time to recharge that’s how I used to run my self

Then I realised that slowing down was actually ok - that I actually worked better rested, more creative

Fun Floaty Gill appears more

And yes I know it’s hard, with family, with a business etc but it’s all excuses you can really find a way to slow down when you step back and look at it

And I am here to tell you things don’t fall apart, your family won’t hate you for missing an event, your business won’t close down ….

Here to help drop me DM anytime 🧡

Is it even a family catch-up if nobody brings up business? 😂

Two brothers and me.

Three business owners.

And a LOT of opinions between us.

We see each other regularly, talk shop probably more than we should, and somehow still manage to get on.

Today we swapped the businesses for the gym

Although, let’s face it, we were never going to get through a session without a bit of business chat and plenty of taking the p**s.

That’s the thing about having siblings who are also self-employed.

They get the highs, the headaches, the staff dramas, the decisions and the days when you wonder what the f**k you’re doing.

And they’re never too shy to give you their opinion either. Whether you asked for it or not.

But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Good business chats, plenty of laughs and keeping the banter alive the Carroll family way 🫶

It’s been a day, a week, a month but my little ritual last night saved me today & I managed to show up & handle life 🤜

What rituals have you built for yourself?

We all say we don’t have time, and it’s true we are all busy, but you don’t forget to brush your teeth, watch your fav tv show …

Rituals will only happen when we decide
1. They are important
2. We crave out time for them
3. Make them a non negotiable

This was my ritual last night:

Mission :
[Soothe my mind & body before 🩸]

Action :
roll out the mat, dim the lights, make a cacao, add my fav playlists , light a candle, meditate and stretch in a way that felt soothing ✨

Then make a note in my calendar for next month to do this on day 26🩸

The results:
Slept solid for 8 hours and woke up fresh 🧡

What ritual can you make in your life that will help you body mind and heart in your personal life and business/ work life ?
