In this episode, Yvonne is joined by Siobhéal the founder of Rosie and Dott which sells accessories for special occasions at affordable prices. Siobhéal named her company in honour of her friend Dorothy 'Dott' Henggeler who passed away from brain cancer. A friend who inspired her in life and still does, especially on bad days.

Siobhéal explains how not being able to easily find accessories for her own wedding inspired her to start sourcing beautiful modern jewellery, bags and other accessories and sell them at affordable prices. She shares how she uncovered her passion, learned to overcome fear, be her true self, stopped self-sabotaging and how she uses affirmations, visualisation, and therapy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can start a retail business like Siobhéal did with just a few samples.

• Trying different jobs and activities, boosts your confidence, provides you with skills you may need later and helps you to figure out what you want to do.

• Keeping your energy and optimism levels high is important. Several ways to do that are shared during the episode.

• If you need to learn something, just Google it and get started.

• Squarespace is a user-friendly way to build a website.

• Just start, the worst thing that can happen is that it does not work, the best is that it is the start of something you love.

• Find your people, your tribe. They will support, encourage, and energise you.

• Get clear on what you want, before you start to manifest.

• If you are not sure what you want, start by asking yourself how you want to feel e.g. financially secure.

• Letting go is not about giving up. It is reaching the point where you stop constantly pushing for something to happen and trust the timing.

• Affirmations are powerful, Yvonne and Siobhéal share the ones they find most powerful.

• Use social media to power growth, Siobhéal explains how she does it. 

• People sell to people.

BEST MOMENTS

“Because of that mentality, I was so relaxed throughout it, and looking back and like, that's obviously what helps me.”

“I had a lot of ambition and a lot of drive, but I was like, I'm not putting this into the right thing.”

“Affirmations are so good … you have got to do the work to convince yourself.”

“You're not ready until you know what you want and you're clear on what your goal is, park your manifestation box…but write down how you want to feel.”

“I knew that if I didn't deal with the demons I would self-sabotage.” 

“It´s a manivestment – an investment in yourself.”
