And So, She Left: Wisdom from Women Beyond the Corporate World

How to Stop Dreaming and Start Doing (w/ Tiffany Jones-Lewis, Founder - TJL Collection)


Listen Later

Entrepreneurs are deep thinkers. We each have a million ideas zipping around in our heads, and if we’re lucky, a great one pops up every now and again.  

 

But there’s a stark difference between the people who dream and the people who do.  

 

Tiffany Jones-Lewis made that realization after serving 8 years in the navy. Before launching TJL Collection, a fashion brand aimed at tall women, she was a lifelong dreamer. The tallest one in the room from a young age, her height had always matched the loftiness of her professional goals…yet the security of her HR day-job held her firmly in place.  

 

You’re about to hear Tiffany’s journey from dreamer to doer, the stumbling blocks she faced as a taller woman in fashion, and how she eventually learned to choose her own path.

 

Tiffany talks about:

  • Cultivating an environment that allows her to dream big
  • Why striving for perfection actually hinders your progress
  • How she brought her vision and bring it to life through action
  • How the internet pressures us to achieve rapidly at a young age
  • Leaving the navy for entrepreneurship & proving doubters wrong 
  • Starting her business with her husband in Hawaii during the pandemic
