Hope you all guys had a lovely weekend! It was a bank holiday this Monday in the UK, so we enjoyed an extra day, which was great and very much needed!⠀ ⠀ I used this opportunity to go to Paris and meet two of my best friends and spend some time with them. ❤️⠀ ⠀ We know each other for more than 20 years now and I am so so grateful that even though we all live in different countries, all have our own families now, we still keep in touch, we are still close and even if we haven't seen each other in a long time, when we meet - it feels like we have never been apart 😊⠀ ⠀ Of course there was a lot of chatting over the last couple for days and one of the things we were talking about is what would we want and where would we like to be in the next 5-10 years career or job wise.⠀ ⠀ And talking it through, even though we do want quite different things and see ourselves also quite differently in 5-10 years, what we have all agreed with is that you really need to understand what kind of person you are, what kind of personality you have and what kind of job or work would make you happy.⠀ ⠀ For example, one of my friends wanted to work from home and do freelance. She thought this would be the best option for her as she has kids and wanted to spend as much time with them as possible. But when she started doing this type of work, she realized, that is it completely not her! From her own words she said she needed to dress up and be with people 💄💅💃⠀ ⠀ While myself, on the other side, quite happily type away on my laptop all day, without having the need to see or speak to anyone 😂 such a loner I am 😂 So for me, working for myself and freelancing is the best 😍 and I can not stand the routine and the fact that I need to be in the office form 9-5.⠀ ⠀ But I guess my point is that if you are not happy in your current job or want to change, before you make the move you really need to understand what fits and suits you best and what type of work would make you happy 🤔⠀ ⠀ Comment below what type of work suits you 👇Do you prefer to work with people eon on your own? 👇⠀ ⠀

Building your business doesn't happen overnight.⠀ ⠀ It doesn't happen over a week, month and, sometimes even a year.⠀ ⠀ I always knew that it is a long term commitment and I have to have the patience and persistence and just keep on going.⠀ ⠀ But knowing is one thing, living it is completely the other 😂⠀ ⠀ Every time I don't see enough growth on my social profiles or not enough sales from my courses, it is really daunting and discouraging and I need to keep reminding myself that it's alright, it's ok, you are just in the beginning of the road.⠀ ⠀ I need to keep on doing what I am doing, test and change thing to figure out what works the best, but I need to keep on going.⠀ ⠀ And I do really find the enjoyment doing this.⠀ ⠀ What I have realised, is that you need to enjoy the road itself to wherever you are going or aiming for. Because actually, it never stops, and that' the beauty of it.⠀ ⠀ If you do decide to start your own business, you have to love what you do and enjoy the process along the way. That's the key 😊⠀ ⠀ What do you guys struggle with on your road? 👇👇👇⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #byoboss #beyourownboss #empirebuilding #beyourownbosstoday #iamaboss #empoweringothers #laptoplifestyle #no9to5 #moneymind #workforyourself #workfromphone #risktaker #entrepreneurmind #retireyoung #bizbabe #softskills #nomore9to5⁣⁣⁣⠀ #wifiwealth #bossbabesociete #entrepreneurher #womencommunity #opportunityawaits #opportunityknocks #businessgoals #buildingbusiness #entrepreneurmind #leadershiptrainig #managementtraining #entrepreneur #peopleskills

Are you happy with where you are in your life at the moment❓❓⠀ ⠀ Are you happy with what you are doing, where you live and what you do day to day❓❓⠀ ⠀ ‼If your answer is no to at least some of these questions, then I urge you to stop, think and then start doing something about it!⠀ ⠀ 👉We keep on postponing doing things that we truly want because the time is not right, or the place is wrong or we think we don't have the equipment, knowledge, skills or anything else we might think is absolutely necessary to start. But these are only excuses the you are telling to yourself because you are scared.⠀ ⠀ 👉You are scared to leave your comfort zone, scared to start something new, scared to put yourself out there.⠀ ⠀ 🎈But nothing happens in the comfort zone, no change, no progress. You have to push yourself out of your comfort zone to see the change.⠀ ⠀ It is not easy, I get it. I was also the one thinking that I will start doing what I want when... and the list went on. ⠀ ⠀ But the thing is, your brain is very clever - it will always find the logical explanation for you to stay where you are, because it wants stability.⠀ ⠀ When you decide that you want to grow, there will be a constant battle between two parts of your brain - one that wants the progress and the other, that wants stability.⠀ ⠀ And it is only up to you which side you will follow.🤔⠀ ⠀ ✅Start now, start with what you have and what you know, but just start. The truth is, that if you on't start now, you might never start.⠀ ⠀ Let me know guys if you are struggling to start something new in the comments👇, and if so, what is it that you struggle with?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #byoboss #beyourownboss #empirebuilding #beyourownbosstoday #iamaboss #empoweringothers #laptoplifestyle #no9to5 #workforyourself #workfromphone #risktaker #entrepreneurmind #retireyoung #bizbabe #nomore9to5⁣⁣⁣⠀ #bossbabesociete #entrepreneurher #womencommunity #opportunityawaits #opportunityknocks #businessgoals #buildingbusiness #entrepreneur #leadershipskills #leadershiptraining #bethebestyou #motovation #inspiration #success #smallbusinessowner

Do people want to follow you ❓❓⠀ ⠀ You might have heard about so called 'authentic leadership'. It seems to be easier, however, to say that the person is an authentic leader, rather than pinpoint exactly what makes him such a leader.⠀ ⠀ 👉Leadership today is very different from that of our parents' generation. The old "top-down" style of management just doesn't work anymore. People generally want to be fully engaged, committed and fully invested in what they're doing. They want to feel as if their work has a purpose and it matters. And they want to believe in the people who are in charge. ⠀ ⠀ ‼Because of these higher expectations, it's necessary for leaders to know how to inspire passion and confidence in the people they're leading. When people work alongside a truly authentic leader, they'll often give their whole hearts and minds to the cause. In these situations, a spirit of teamwork and loyalty can spread throughout an organization, resulting in high morale and producing extraordinary results. ⠀ ⠀ ✅Authentic leaders inspire trust. People are more willing to be open about problems and mistakes, which means that they are more likely to get fixed on time.⠀ ⠀ Do you guys want to know how to become and authentic leader and lead in an authentic way?

Saturday in the life of entrepreneur 😂😂😂 Today was a working day for me - I was putting some new content ideas together and had a little strategy session for my business to make sure I’m on track and don’t loose the direction 😊Even though I do have to work most weekends now, but now I completely understand when people say - if you do what you love, it doesn’t feel like work! And it doesn’t! I spend almost all of the day doing things for my business, but it didn’t feel daunting, boring or something I desperately wanted to get out of. Advantages of being your own boss 👌days like these just remind me how lucky I am that I am able to do what I truly love❤️ #entrepreneurlife

You can't do that! That's way too difficult! If you try, you'll probably just fail anyway‼ Do you remember saying this to yourself at some point or another? I definitely do! Negative self-talk is something we all do at some point. When it becomes regular, however, it can lead to self-sabotage, and can stop us achieving our goals and dreams. What's worse is that we usually don't recognize that it's even happening. Instead, we think that we haven't achieved something, because we are not capable. This, in turn, leads to negative self-talk becoming a normal thing and we get caught in a self-sabotaging cycle that can be very difficult to break. ‼The usual sign that you are sabotaging yourself is when you work extremely hard when you're trying to achieve your goals, but you are not getting any closer. The skill, ability and desire are there: it's just that something stops you moving forward. 👉When you feel that you can't do something you should be able to do, or that you shouldn't do something, even though you know deep down that you want or need to do it, self-sabotage is at work. ✅Turn your assumptions around and put them in the correct perspective. Align them with positive beliefs about what you can accomplish. When your skills, beliefs and behaviors are aligned, you will have the right mental, emotional and physical states to do whatever you set your mind to. 🎈To be able to achieve your goals and dreams, you need to be able to believe in yourself and self-sabotaging behavior cuts this belief off. Negative self-talk is an easy pattern to fall into and a difficult one to break out of. But by being aware of negative self-talk, you can notice and prevent self-sabotage before it affects your self-esteem. Do you guys struggle with self-sabotage?👇 . . . . . . . #girlboss #entrepreneur #business #onlinebusiness #onlineentrpreneur #remoteworking #mentalhealth #futureofwork #femaleentrepreneur #leadershiptraining #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipskills #managementtraining #managementskills #personladevelopment #livethelifeyoulove #bethebestyou #personalgrowth #smallbusinessowners #womeninbusiness #motivation #inspiration #success #wellbeing #london

Continuing the well being week with a topic of Self awareness 😊⠀ ⠀ I would like to start with the quote "It is wisdom to know others; it is enlightenment to know one's self."~ Lao-Tzu, Chinese philosopher.⠀ ⠀ And it is truly that before we can understand and have any relationships with others, we need to be able to understand and have relationships with ourselves. ⠀ ⠀ Have you ever worked with someone who considered the needs and feelings of others, took responsibility for his or her mistakes, was humble about their strengths, never said thoughtless things, and was aware of how his or her words and actions affected others. ⠀ Put simply, this person was great to work with 👌⠀ ⠀ ‼Simply because they were very self aware.⠀ ⠀ Self-awareness is one of the most important qualities that you can have as a leader, and developing self-awareness is important in both your personal and professional life. ⠀ ⠀ Self-awareness essentially is the ability to look inward, think deeply about your behavior, and consider how it aligns with your moral standards and values. ⠀ ⠀ Self-awareness is one of the most important elements of emotional intelligence . It gives you the ability to understand and control your own emotions and actions, and it helps you understand how these affect the emotions and actions of others. ⠀ ⠀ ✅By developing self-awareness, you get to know what does and doesn't work for you, and you learn how to manage your impact on other people. ⠀ ⠀ 👉People with high levels of self-awareness are more effective as leaders, because they deal with people positively, and they inspire trust and credibility in their team members. ⠀ ⠀ As a result, these people also often have more satisfying careers and higher incomes. ⠀ ⠀ To develop self-awareness, learn about your strengths and weaknesses. Take time to analyze the decisions that you make, focus on managing your emotions, and be humble about your accomplishments. Who of you guys are self aware? Comment below! 👇

"Self-esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves."~Nathaniel Branden⠀ ⠀ Don't forget to like and save, so you have it as a little reminder 😊⠀ ⠀ Having healthy self-esteem is a key part of feeling happy with ourselves, and of feeling that we're succeeding in the things that matter to us. ⠀ ⠀ ✅Positive self-esteem helps you to be yourself, handle difficult or unpleasant situations, and believe that you'll get through them, despite setbacks. It's an inner force that sustains you, and gives you the courage you need to be the person you want to be. ⠀ ⠀ ❌Low self-esteem, on the other hand, does the opposite. It is connected to self-doubt, and to a general feeling that you're not quite good enough to meet the challenges that come your way. If you have low self-esteem, you may believe that you aren't capable of achieving your dreams, and you may even believe that you shouldn't dream at all. ⠀ ‼In fact, low self-esteem is used to diagnose many mental health issues, and it can be associated with a variety of negative emotions, including anxiety, sadness, hostility, shame, embarrassment, loneliness and lack of spontaneity. ⠀ ⠀ ✅It is important to remember that you're the one in control, and you can make a difference. If you like yourself, and believe that you deserve good things in life, you'll have high self-esteem. If you dislike yourself or criticize yourself excessively, you'll have a low sense of self-esteem. ⠀ ⠀ Having healthy self-esteem is important, as it helps you get through life's challenges and achieve the things that matter most to you, so make a commitment to yourself to value what you do and who you are! ⠀ ⠀ Do you guys struggle or have ever struggled with your self-esteem?👇⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #girlboss #entrepreneurship #business #onlinebusiness #onlineentrpreneur #remoteworking #digitalnomad #futureofwork #femaleentrepreneur #leadershiptraining #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipskills #managementtraining #managementskills #personladevelopment #livethelifeyoulove #bethebestyou #personalgrowth #smallbusinessowners #womeninbusiness #lifestyle #motivation #inspiration #success #mentalhealth #wellbeing #selfesteem #softskills #psychology

As it is a well being week this week, I wanted to talk about well being in the workplace, but also well being in general in our day to day lives 😊⠀ ⠀ And, I though I would start with resilience.⠀ ⠀ 🎈Resilience is our ability to adapt and bounce back when things don't go as planned. Resilient people don't think too much about their failures, but they acknowledge the situation, learn from their mistakes, and then move forward. ⠀ ⠀ There are three elements that are essential to resilience: ⠀ ✅Challenge – Resilient people view a difficulty as a challenge, not as a paralyzing event. They look at their failures and mistakes as lessons to be learned from, and as opportunities for growth. They don't view them as a negative reflection on their abilities or self-worth. ⠀ ⠀ ✅Commitment – Resilient people are committed to their lives and their goals, and they have a compelling reason to get out of bed in the morning. Commitment isn't just restricted to their work – they commit to their relationships, their friendships, the causes they care about, and their religious or spiritual beliefs. ⠀ ⠀ ✅Personal Control – Resilient people spend their time and energy focusing on situations and events that they have control over. Because they put their efforts where they can have the most impact, they feel empowered and confident. Those who spend time worrying about uncontrollable events can often feel lost, helpless, and powerless to take action. ⠀ ⠀ Do you guys think you have the above characteristics? What do you think you need to work on?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #girlboss #entrepreneurship #business #onlinebusiness #onlineentrpreneur #remoteworking #digitalnomad #futureofwork #femaleentrepreneur #leadershiptraining #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipskills #managementtraining #managementskills #personladevelopment #livethelifeyoulove #bethebestyou #personalgrowth #smallbusinessowners #womeninbusiness #lifestyle #fitness #motivation #inspiration #success #resilience #wellbeing #stress #mentalhealth #worklifebalance

Edinburgh Impressions 😊 Part 2.⠀ ⠀ Don't forget to save the post to have it handy when you visit Edinburgh 😊⠀ ⠀ Happy Friday guys, so today I wanted to finish a week on an easy note,hence the travel post 😁⠀ ⠀ In the last post I have mentioned that my impressions of Edinburgh are twofold. Being a really beautiful city with a lot of history, many places to visit, amazing scenery and plenty of stories, it is also grey, cold, with a lot of drunk and not very nice people, not very safe and welcoming.⠀ ⠀ We visited the Castle and Holyrood Palace, climbed the Arthur's seat, went on a walking tour and also took The Dark Side Tour - which was all about stories and legends in Edinburgh. ⠀ ⠀ We ate haggis and drank whiskey.⠀ ⠀ We had a lovely dinner at Scran&Scallie - my ox cheeks stewed in wine with creamy mash potatoes were to die for 😋⠀ ⠀ We had a tea at the Deacon Brodies Caffe and learned of the story and the person who inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write his famous "Strange case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde".⠀ ⠀ We visited Writer's museum and listened to the parts of the "Treasure Island" chapters and learned about lives of the three of the foremost Scottish writers: Robert Burns, Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. ⠀ ⠀ There is a lot to see and visit in Edinburgh, especially if you like history. And I do, but in the end, I didn't fall in love with Edinburgh, it just didn't feel like my city. Didn't give that wow effect. For me it felt cold, grey and not very welcoming. Tried two times and it didn't change 😔⠀ ⠀ What are your impressions of Edinburgh?

My impressions from Edinburgh are quite twofold 🤔⠀ Part 1.⠀ As I have mentioned before, for the May bank holiday we headed over to Edinburgh. It was my present to my other half for our 2 year anniversary, as he has never been and always wanted to go.⠀ ⠀ This was my second time, however. First time was 5 years ago in the end of October and, to be honest, the experience wasn't great at all. Mainly because of the weather 😅 It was freezing cold, awfully windy and raining for the hole time we've been there. Now, I am originally from Estonia, where the temperature during winter can go down to minus 25 and even minus 30 sometimes. And even then, I was struggling to cope with the Scottish cold 😂⠀ ⠀ So this time I have booked the tickets in May thinking it would be warm and sunny. Ha, didn't happen! I had to pull out winter clothes and boots that I have already packed away as it was 5 degrees when we arrived!⠀ I mean, all in all, we were lucky that it wasn't poring all the time and we even got a glimpse of sun, but still it was very cold and windy. I think I just wasn't born to live in a cold climate 🤣⠀ ⠀ Anyway, enough of the weather and sorry for a long rant - just couldn't help it ☺️⠀ ⠀ Edinburgh is a beautiful city with a lot of history, legends and stories. And a lot of amazing things to see and places to visit, which I will tell you about in my next post ☺️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #girlboss #entrepreneurship #business #onlinebusiness #onlineentrpreneur #remoteworking #digitalnomad #wanderlust #femaleentrepreneur #leadershiptraining #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipskills #managementtraining #travel #personladevelopment #livethelifeyoulove #bethebestyou #personalgrowth #smallbusinessowners #womeninbusiness #lifestyle #arountheworld #motivation #inspiration #success #scotland #discoveringtheworld #edinburgh #lovetravel #girlsdreamtravel
