Starting a business in your late 40's

I went from a young artist at 15 years old, to then wanting to study architecture and interior design at 17 years old, but fell into the world of fashion! I knew I had my creativity and always kept it going no matter what I put my mind to. I spent 30 years working in fashion and grew to love it!

I had to start my life again but used my intuition and now love exactly what I do without any regrets, its not easy , nothing is easy but if you love it, its makes it so much more enjoyable.

Don't get me wrong, deciding to start again in my 40's was going to have its ups and downs. Never mind starting a business at that age but also during Covid was a huge risk ! but a risk that was worth taking.

What I did realise was that my past years have taught me all the elements for me to grow with confidence. Use my initiative, build on what I know and love and believe in myself. Youth gives energy and time, but maturity bring a whole wealth of knowledge and calm confidence. I'm older, wiser and know what I want to do.

I have a beautiful life and work balance, I walk the dog, enjoy my lunch and book my meetings when I want. it doesn't feel like the same pressure. I focus on what's important and it works! This was all because I took that leap of faith to start something new not thinking about whether it would fail and work, my mind was focused on doing something I loved. So just go for it, life is too short and starting again at a later age is actually the best time 😊

I had to learn how to walk again after my illness so I developed a sneaker brand - very Comfortable, Ethical & Vegan. We plant a tree for evry pair sold and give 5% to the Brain and Spine Charity.
