Let's take a moment to meditate and reflect on 2020... 🤯🤭🔥🏥🦠🩺✊🏿👩🏻‍🔬

And Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome to 2021.

Hopefully, it will be a much better year than 2020.

But just because we've hit a new year, doesn't mean the events unfolding across the world will magically disappear.

There is plenty to reflect on; Covid-19, forest fires worst than ever before, inequality, , general sustainability issues, mental health, , Trump (?) the list goes on and it will probably continue...
..but so will we.

So, here's to and hopefully a better and brighter 2021.

What's the cost of avoiding seemingly difficult conversation⁉️

Try $75,000 and a law suit
😱

It's not uncommon for founders who have similar goals go head on into a project and 'figure it out along the way'. What's the point of going through it all when you don't even know if it'll work out or what if you don't like each other? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

But what if….
👇👇👇

What if it does work out and you've put in waaaaay more effort than your founder? And things take off to the moon?🚀

Now you wish you already had that conversation …. 🙄 and not everything is going to be rosey.

It may seem like a chore but it's prudent to get clarity on roles, responsibilities, shareholding and even what happens in the event one partner wants to part ways. 😳

Now listen to what Evangeline shares in this snippet and tell us if you agree 😎 in the comments 💬 below!

“If you want to do it, you do it 1000%, even if it’s cleaning the toilets!”
😱

But sometimes doubt and confusion creeps in, “...did I really go off rails?”

🤯 🤯 🤯

Everyone always says “the grass is always greener on the other side”

When you surround yourself with people who are going in a different direction it can be hard to stay on the track you’ve decided for yourself. 😭

But when you realise these messages are no good for you and instead find yourself a mentor who tells you “this is your life, you decide how you want to make full use of it” 👏 your outlook on the world and your own success changes.

“The grass is greener wherever you water 🚿 it “
