I began my journey after experiencing great loss. My father had just passed away and at around the same time my temporary position, had just come to an end. I was job searching for months. It was at this lowest point that I realized that failure is the greatest teacher. These are some of the steps I took to go from zero sales to 1,000s of orders in just one year in my etsy shop YouAreBeautifulBox. I can sit here and tell you basic steps like use hashtags, take great photos but the truth is one of the greatest contributors to achievement is your mindset.
1. Love What You Do! Passion will be the greatest motivator to achieving your goals. Put heart into what you do. Have a mission, a goal that will lead to a greater purpose.
2. Master Resilience. The internet cannot always be kind, but you can be. Mastering resilience is anticipating possible problems and already planning the solutions. Resilience is accepting that problems arise and having the confidence and knowledge to overcome them.
3. Develop Your Own Style. Use your creativity to think of ways to stand out.
4.) Feedback is your Friend. Keep an open mind for constant development. The world is not static. Don't be afraid to make beneficial changes.
5.) Empower other Women. Live to inspire women to be kind to each other and support them in their dreams. We can stand alone but together we can stand even taller.
6.) Don't be Afraid to Teach Yourself. If you have a passion and patience you can learn how to do just about anything.
7. Promote by Mouth. It's your time to shine when your distant family members ask the famous question. " What are you doing with your life?
Did you know that in recent years 40% of new entrepreneurs are women according to 2016 Kauffman Index of Startup Activity?
This is our time to shine ladies!
