Things I have learnt along my business journey:

1. IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, WHO WILL?

YOU are your number one cheerleader. I used to be embarrassed about sharing that I am a stylist, let alone have my face on social media. That is my business though! I am the face of my company. I am the product and/or service I am selling.

These days this is exactly what you are seeing on my website and social media – me. People like to see who they are spending money with. When they invest in my services, they are trusting me as a person.

2. SWIMMING AGAINST THE FLOW MAY LEAD TO GREATER PLACES. When I studied to become a stylist, and probably even for some time after, I thought I had to be super glamorous and always wear the latest fashion to be a ‘real’ stylist. That’s what I thought. That’s not who I became!

Finding my niche and knowing my target audience has been my key to feeling aligned with who I am, my business and achieving business success.

3. YOUR POSTCODE DOESN’T DEFINE YOU.

Initially I had limiting beliefs that fashion has no place on a farm. Sometimes a mix up of perspective or in my case location, gave me the opportunity to approach my business from a different angle and flourish.

The closest shopping centre is over 100 kms away, however what I teach is irrespective of that distance. In a world of online shopping, I don’t have to be close to a shopping centre. Some of my clients are in a different state. How I teach means I can reach you on an outback station, on a farm across the state or living in town.

4. MAKING CONNECTIONS. Reaching out to others, forming connections and building a community of trusted women in business has been vital to overcoming the physical isolation that working on a farm creates.

I am big on supporting small, and as such making connections with small business owners has helped me discover new fashion brands and accessories across Australia. Another reason why I don’t need a shopping centre close to me. I know I can reach out to Leonie or Tracey, or Sarah and they’ll have me spoilt for choice for my clients.

5. NETWORKING AND UPSKILLING. I never stop learning. Whether it’s learning from others leading by example or upskilling in other areas. There are always gold nuggets to be found when getting another perspective.
