This Weekly Reminder is dedicated to two incredible people who impacted my life greatly when working alongside them, Mark and Dominique.
Transcript
Before becoming self-employed I worked many jobs.
I was a waitress at a crepe Restaurant, a receptionist at a hairdresser, cashier at a bakery, sales assistant for display homes, football coach and most recently, a personal assistant.
Being a personal assistant you learn a lot since you are working alongside the people who run the company.
I loved my job and the people I worked with so it was a bitter sweet day when I let them know I would be leaving to pursue my passion and become a full time social media creator.
Over the 4 and a half years I worked with Mark and Dom, I learnt so many life lessons that have been ingrained in my brain. I wanted to put them somewhere so I made a book and now this weekly reminder!
If you are a business owner, I know you will find value in this one, but even if you are not, these rules and lessons apply to life too. - so don't dismiss them!
Here are the 10 greatest lessons I learnt from my mentors:
