“Thereโ€™s a hidden blessing in everything we go through in life.โ€

Be Kind to Yourself

Running your own business can be one of the hardest things on you mentally. Itโ€™s a very masculine dominated world, and thereโ€™s often times not enough love.

I often notice Iโ€™m being hard on myself, especially when things go wrong.

All of this got me thinking about the important words I received in the past from Sara Blakely.

If you donโ€™t know Sarah, she is the CEO of Spanx. She is the YOUNGEST female self made billionaire in America. She didnโ€™t do that by going to war with her competitors; she did it through love and encouragement.

Along her route she also suffered from severe grief, having lost 11 people that were close to her in a very short period of time.

Listen to how you can be kind to yourself, and be successful in business, on Episode 612.
