KEY TAKEAWAYS
Everyone has a unique path, and it's important to recognize that your experiences, including challenges, contribute to your growth and success.
Prioritising emotional well-being and energy management is crucial for maintaining motivation and consistency in both personal and professional life.
Having a plan is essential, but implementing that plan through actionable steps is what leads to progress. Start with one small step at a time, and don't be afraid to learn from failures along the way.
For mothers, balancing caregiving responsibilities with personal ambitions can be challenging. It's important to carve out time for both family and personal goals.
Recognizing and nurturing the unique abilities of children, especially those with special needs, can lead to their flourishing. Emphasizing strengths rather than focusing solely on challenges can foster a positive environment for growth.
BEST MOMENTS
"The sooner you start doing that, rather than making all these big grand plans, which we do need, but it's about taking action."
"The caring responsibility falls more on the mother... If things go great and the child is awesome, it's the father's child."
"Running your own business is the best self-development journey you can ever, ever wish to go on."
"You have to make sacrifices and work out what time you have available... that initial startup period when you are creating and building a business is intensive."
"We need to ensure that our children are learning very good practices from us."
