The Rebel Florist in Conversation

In this episode, I am talking about why we need to step away from other business owners and stop comparing ourselves to them.  It’s not helpful and it puts us in a negative headspace, its no wonder we stop what we are doing when we are being surrounded by so called ‘busy businesses’ that have all their shit together and orders and bookings coming out of their ears! I am pretty sure they don’t.  Its important to do your thing and stay in your lane. Stop comparing (it’s probably not true anyway)  Set goals because without them you will go around in circles. Look ats what working and stop the things that are not. Remember there is no magic wand and never a one size fits all approach.  Do your thing and believe in yourself.   https://kerryashbycoaching.com
