Today, my dear friend Betty, has been pushing me to write a Blog, and honestly, I feel there is so much content out there already… So why try and elbow my way into people’s consciousness? And then Betty said that she loves talking to me, because my advice is just practical.
There’s a lot of abstract fluff out there, I agree. People talk about mindset as if it was some sort of Jedi trick. I’m just not one of those people, I am from the south of Brazil, and where I’m from, there’s a saying: “you always have to have a knife in your boot”, basically being ready for anything.
And so that’s how I’ve grown my business, but not trying to tackle everything myself. The trick is to invest your valuable time on what you do best. I always say, “you can have it all, but you can’t do it all”. And believe me, I get that no one cares more about your business than you; no one work on it as hard as you either. But that’s not the point, you have to know when to double down on something and when to delegate to someone else, who by the way, may be better at it than you, regardless if you care more. Realizing that we are not necessarily the best at everything is a huge first step!
So there it is, my first blog. I hope it helps some of the beautiful women out there who are challenged day after day to have it all.
