Successful business owners set goals. Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation. It focuses you and helps you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the most of your time.By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals, and you'll see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind. Your self-confidence will also rise as you recognize your own ability in achieving the goals that you've set.

When you are the face of your business, You can get really self-conscious about your image.​​Back in 2014, just 12 months after the birth of my son, I weighed in at my lightest weight of my adult life. I had lost just shy of 30kg. And I kept it off for 2 years.​​Then I went into life as a business owner. And since then, that weight has crept back on, slowly at first, but over the last 12 months, it came on fast.​​As a busy business owner, I put more importance on my business, then on my own health. I ate the fastest and most convenient of foods, because I "didn't have time" to prep healthy meals.​​And when I took on a full-time employment contract for a year, while running my business on the side, it only got worse. And eventually, I lost my Gall Bladder.​​I kept putting off professional photos saying I'd wait until I lost the weight again. But if I kept putting it off. I'd never get started.​​I am putting a lot more importance on my health this year. I am putting myself first, before my business. Not to lose weight, but to improve my health, and mental clarity. But I refuse to hide from the camera in the meantime. Because what I look like, has no effect and the things that I know.

I've been in boardrooms where I was the only female present. It's not an uncommon situation and it can be an uncomfortable one.​​A lot has changed in the business world in the last years.

And one day I hope my daughter doesn't have to face the same sexist remarks that I did.​​I talk about my experiences and how I dealt with them on the podcast this week.
