The Seeds of Success: Lessons From My 12-Year Journey in Business

It’s been 12 years as an entrepreneur, and I’ve gathered some tips and lessons I think any woman can learn! For any niche or industry, it doesn’t matter; some principles are timeless. 

You may have heard the quote, “Success leaves clues.” and it’s so true! These tips are not just my list, but you will notice that every female entrepreneur who is crushing it inside AND outside of the home are probably doing the same thing. 🙂 

Here’s a rundown of my top ten lessons that might help on your path too:

1. Knowledge is Power, But Community is Key: There’s tons of information out there, but real growth happens when you connect with others through courses, Masterminds, or even Facebook groups.

2. Be Okay with Being a Beginner Again: Every expert was once a beginner. Embrace the learning curve and give yourself the grace to learn.

3. Self-talk Really Does Matter: The words you say to yourself shape your reality. Speaking positivity can profoundly influence your circumstances.

4. Only Take Advice from Those You Admire: Listen to people who have achieved what you aspire to. This approach speeds up your growth and helps you meet your goals faster.
5. Embrace Failure as a Stepping Stone: Every setback teaches you something. Don’t fear failure; learn from it and keep moving.

6. Set Boundaries to Thrive: Keeping work and personal life separate is essential. This balance keeps you healthy and productive.
7. Invest in Your Health: Good health is your greatest wealth, especially in business. Stay active, eat well, and rest enough.

8. Network Intentionally: Build relationships with intention. Surround yourself with people who inspire and challenge you.

9. Stay Ahead with Continuous Learning: The business world moves quickly. Stay updated by constantly learning.

10. Celebrate Your Wins: Take time to enjoy your achievements, big and small. They pave the way to greater successes.

In entrepreneurship, just like in life, we plant seeds through our ideas, decisions, and the networks we build. These seeds may seem small initially, but with proper care and nurturing, they can grow into something extraordinary. My hope for you is that you plant seeds that blossom into a legacy of success and fulfillment.

Let’s keep planting, nurturing, and growing together. Here’s to building businesses that bloom beautifully and benefit others for years to come!
