As I am sat drinking tea watching the rain splatter over my
garden I’ve been thinking a lot about the degrees of support you rely on as a
Mum and as a small business owner starting out.
Support comes in many levels and degrees.
Friends and family support us unconditionally. When we are
ratbags, when we probably don’t deserve it and especially when we really do. They normally pull it out of the bag and astonish us with the level of
help they offer.
Without them we’d be useless.
The support comes in many forms- As a degree of
encouragement, a source of energy, to baby sit when tirelessly working, a
person to bounce ideas off, to make sure you've eaten when you've been too busy to, to remind you to go
to bed and most of all to believe in you.
In the past few weeks I have beckoned for help from friends
and family, trying to pull together ideas and support. Always supporting other
family members and friends as they too try to start something fresh and new.
It’s important. What’s the point of keeping something you are good at and
saving it for only you. I hope that for those who have helped me I can help
them in some way soon. And for those that I have helped I hope I can call upon
them when I need them. It's not a condition of helping, it's just nice to know you can call upon people. People who matter and can help.
From speaking to many starting out at the beginning of their
journey, or somewhere mid point- It’s a hard time, a struggle and most
certainly a time when self confidence is at it’s lowest. Even if you know you
are on to a winner, at the beginning it can be tough.
So with the knowledge that I couldn’t do what I do without a
little bit of help, I ask you all to do the same. Share your talent by helping
someone else. Whether is be proof reading, giving advice, sharing your trade,
helping to energise someone
dipping, looking after baby so you can get on or simply by making a Cuppa when they are mid flow- it all helps! I
promise.
So...
Share the love,
Share your skills,
Share and support
Together we can do it!
P.s.......thank you to those who have helped in any way!
