🎉 HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY TO my baby Natalka Design - you've come a long way from running around east London, telling people you draw fast and are creative to running a fully fledged strategic communications business embarking on year 12 adding value to clients around the world. What a ride.
THANK YOU to all of you who've been a part of our journey 🎉🚀🎂. Special Thank You to the person who believed in me first before I did, my dear friend Mr Darren Robson. I wouldn't be where I am without your belief, support, energy and guidance.
11 Lessons for 11 years running this business. Hope at least one helpful there.
1. ✅ Adaptability is key: Being able to adapt to changes in the market or industry is crucial for success. Be flexible and willing to pivot when necessary. Way before Covid we were fully set up as 'remote only' always shape shifting and getting ready for the unknown.
2. ✅ Embrace failure: Failures are inevitable. Instead of dwelling on them, embrace them as opportunities to learn and grow. I've encountered many on my journey and I'm sure many more to come.
3. ✅ The importance of networking: Building and maintaining relationships is crucial for business success. Attend events, join networking groups and seek out mentorship opportunities.
4. ✅ Prioritize client satisfaction: Happy clients lead to repeat business and referrals. Cherish these relationships, work on them and be helpful without being asked.
5. ✅ Always learn: Stay up to date with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in your industry. Attend conferences, read industry publications, and seek out development opportunities.
6. ✅ Manage your time effectively: As a business owner, there are always more tasks than time. Learn to prioritize and delegate effectively to ensure you're using your time wisely. I am yet to learn that.
7. ✅ Take care of your team: Your team is the most valuable asset. Treat them well, provide opportunities for growth and foster a positive work environment.
