Notes on Life: Take a step Forward Towards Achieving your Goals
I remember when I started my business a few months ago. I had no clue what I was doing, but I went for it anyway.
Hey friends!
Ever feel like your brain surprises you by doing things you never thought possible? Well, that's exactly how I felt when I looked back on my achievements from the first quarter of this year. I was amazed at how much I'd accomplished, especially in my business. It made me realize that big dreams are totally achievable if you're willing to put on your thinking cap and take responsibility.
You know those cliché sayings like "you're responsible for your own life"? Well, I really believe in that. It's all about taking charge and making things happen. In a world where everyone's competing, you've got to be ready to solve problems, even if you have to create them yourself. We all have amazing brains; we just need to trust in our ability to make things work. And don't worry about making mistakes along the way—that's just part of learning and growing.
I remember when I started my business a few months ago. I had no clue what I was doing, but I went for it anyway. Networking with others in the same boat was a game-changer. They supported me through the tough times and helped me navigate the ups and downs.
Sometimes we hear these cliché phrases like "just start, and you'll figure it out," and we brush them off. But they're actually pretty powerful. That's the mindset I had when I started my business, and it got me through some tough times. Sure, I made mistakes—like a big one when I invested in a bad product—but I learned from it and came back stronger.
Success is scary, no doubt about it. Will people like what you're offering? Will they even buy it? It's natural to have these doubts, but you can't let them hold you back. That's how I launched Centric Scent, and looking back, I'm so glad I did. Just recently, we got trademark approval, which felt like a huge win after all the fear I had to overcome.
Life rewards those who aren't afraid of a challenge. You've got to be bold, take risks, and own your journey. So, don't be shy about chasing your dreams—nobody else is going to do it for you.
Remember, everyone's too busy worrying about their own lives to care about what you're up to. So, take the reins and steer your life in the direction you want it to go.
Until next time, sending lots of love your way.
What I've Been Consuming:
Books: I've been diving into "Predictory Thinking" this April. It's been eye-opening and has inspired me to take some big risks, which have paid off in the long run.
Podcasts: I've been tuning in to podcasts that remind me to keep pushing forward, even when things get tough.
Movies: Lately, I've been indulging in romantic comedies and catching up on "Real Housewives of Lagos." Sometimes you just need a little guilty pleasure!
