Michael interviews Ellie Donaghy, a property developer and mother of two young children, who shares her journey of transitioning from a corporate career to starting her own business in property development.
Ellie discusses the challenges she faced, including being put at risk of redundancy and the desire for more control over her income, but stresses the importance of being organised and giving oneself a break when juggling the responsibilities of parenting and entrepreneurship.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being a parent and an entrepreneur is challenging, and it's important to give yourself a break and not be too hard on yourself.
Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who are going through similar experiences can provide support and valuable insights.
Responding rather than reacting to stressful situations can help maintain a positive mindset and prevent unnecessary frustration.
Finding a strong motivation or "why" can drive and inspire you to overcome challenges and give back to others. In this case, the speaker's experience with the NHS has inspired them to raise money and support the organisation.
