Hello! Firstly I’d just like to say, thank you for this opportunity

Even if I don’t win, writing this made me realise how truly lucky I am to be a woman, to have a beautiful family, to be in business & to juggle it all no matter how hard it may seem sometimes. It’s a blessing.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” Henry Ford.

Here is my entry:

A challenge I have faced in business? You ask

I chuckle at these words I read!

Each day brings with it new challenges,

But my determination they feed.

 

It’s a balancing act, in the circus of life

I feel like I might be a clown,

So I take time out, just to breathe,

This picks me up when I’m down

 

We need these challenges

To help us grow,

Both in business & in life

This I know

 

The list of challenges is long,

Just like the to-do list.

So I tell myself,

Don’t get your knickers in a twist!

 

I look at the vision board I made

That is hanging on the wall,

I see the pictures, I read the words

and I stand tall

 

For if I don’t build my dreams,

Someone will hire me to help build theirs.

This keeps me going,

Up that huge flight of stairs.

 

When I kiss my children good night

At the end of another long day,

I reflect on those challenges I faced,

and I know I wouldn’t have it any other way

 

Warmest regards,
