1:1:1 | Day 100, Still Learning as I Go

This week, I realised that building a business isn't just about having ideas or creating content. It's about making decisions, solving problems, and being willing to move forward without knowing exactly how things will turn out.

I had videos piling up on my phone that I kept saving because I thought I might need them one day. I also spent time arranging to buy a second-hand commercial blender, only for the seller to change his mind.

Then came the frustrating back-and-forth over a licensing payment. After contacting the council and my bank, I finally tried another payment method and got it sorted.

None of these things went exactly as planned, but each one taught me something.

Today marks Day 100 of my entrepreneurial journey. Looking back, I started with ideas and questions. Now, I'm following up with customers, learning from their feedback, preparing for a market stall, and putting real money into making this happen.

I'm still figuring things out, and I don't know how successful this business will become. But I know I can't learn everything by thinking about it. At some point, I have to take action, test my assumptions, and learn from what happens.

Maybe progress isn't about having everything figured out. Maybe it's about being willing to take the next step.

1-Minute Stress-Relief Breathing

Breathe in gently through your nose for 4 seconds, then slowly breathe out through your mouth for 6 seconds. Repeat for 1–2 minutes while relaxing your shoulders and focusing on your breath.

Tip: A longer, gentle exhale can help your body relax. Take a moment to breathe, reset, and return to your day feeling calmer.
