To save more!!! To not let customers walk all over me. To not accept bad behaviour and manners.
Q: Piece of advice you’d like to share?
I am a survivor!!! I’m adaptable and growing to more areas. Be flexible. I have gone from a small yoga studio space that no one thought would survive, it did for 10 years then I moved to a bigger space. Then COVID hit and my third studio space is behind my garden, this time I thought ohhh it may not be professional enough, how will I survive !!! It’s thriving. Having your own business is 7 days a week, I would not want to do anything else.
