‘Always say yes, and work out the how later.’

According to Olivia Carr, ‘There are no rules in business. You are allowed to change your business model, pivot at any moment, do whatever it takes to make your business and yourself a success. Don’t let old thinking or fear of what others will think hold you back.’

‘The key to taking risks is to find the right balance.’

‘Life and business are about choices: some you make consciously and others, unconsciously.’

‘It’s also important to note that there is no end point with inner work. It’s a constant journey and one in which you can continue for the rest of your life.’

Commit to taking small daily actions towards your vision.’

The better you are at handling your own personal finances and budget, the easier you will find managing your business cash flow.’
