Episode 15: The Vacation Lessons That Can Help Your Business
Why you have to check out today’s podcast:
- Why taking a vacation or just getting time to have some thinking "white space" will be an advantage to your business.
- The realities of other people's perfect Instagram photos and why it is essential to not compare yourself to them
- The substantial difference in being busy and being productive
Summary
My family and I were on vacation in Hawaii and had a good time. We got amazing photos that are Instagram-worthy. But you know what, the whole trip was not as glamorous as it seemed to be. We had major challenges and setbacks, but that doesn't hinder us from enjoying and making the most of these moments. The good thing is I realized that there are valuable lessons learned from our vacation that can relate to growing your beauty business.
The truth is, it is not always a smooth journey when we are trying to grow our beauty business. We can feel overwhelmed by the bumps and curves that we encounter. At times we might want to give up and quit. Nothing comes easy in building a business, and it is a marathon of endurance. It doesn't matter when, but there will be times that you need to sprint and there are times that you have to walk. Overall what is important is that you keep going. As we are in a new year and new decade, there are unlimited possibilities to start anew and try again. Think, plan, and act on what would feel best for you in your business this 2020.
"When you think you're having this moment when you feel like giving up. I feel like I'm panicking, I feel like nothing is working. Then maybe this is a time for you to dig deep and find your greater why.”
