Things I've learnt so far from running a business

• Being able to work efficiently and be self-motivated is not an advantage for the job, it's essential.
• It's not the glamourous lifestyle we'd like you to think it is.
• It is entirely a case of 'what you put in, is what you get out of it'.
• Phrases such as "sick leave", "9 to 5", "40 hour weeks" and "job security" don't exist.
• I'm the boss, employee, payroll, management, accounts department and cleaner.
• I can't just leave work behind at the door at 5pm, it lives and breathes within me.
• Each day I'm working towards my dreams, rather than helping someone else reach theirs.
• Sleep ins, long lunches and unscheduled breaks are a thing & I won't get fired as a result.
• Early morning starts and late nights with coffee in front of the computer are also a thing.
• But most importantly I've never done anything more satisfying, challenging and life-changing!
