Hello! I am Sophie, the founder of Sophie Jones Social. It feels like it has been awhile since my last 'get to know me' post! I can't believe it is nearly August, where has this year gone?! 😅
I started SJS at the end of November 2020 which means I've been doing this for 3 and a bit years now. It's not been easy but nothing worthwhile ever is and this year has been the most challenging yet. I strongly believe that any difficult periods (in life or business) are necessary and are actually periods of growth and change. I always lean on what I have learnt during these times, some learnings that have helped me and might help others are:
- Your business network and personal friendships will keep you going when times are tough.
- No one is coming to rescue you, you have to rescue yourself. Being your own boss means having hard conversations with yourself.
- Motivation will disappear, routine and consistency will keep you going.
- Nothing trumps simply *doing the work*. Procrastination makes everything seem overwhelming but finding a way to break out of that cycle and get your head down will make everything easier.
I would love to know what pearls of wisdom you tell yourself to help you through tough times/cycles in life?
We have had a very client focused year which means we haven't been as active on socials but I am going to share some of our work and the things we have achieved for our clients so keep your eyes peeled 👀
