Each week, Holly selects a piece of entrepreneurial advice that has stayed with her, from her past episodes of Conversations of Inspiration. 

In this week’s lightbulb moment, Tamara Lohan MBE, founder of Mr & Mrs Smith, explains in a letter to her younger self, why you should cherish your mistakes just as much as your achievements, and addresses her fear that as a founder, it’s possible to lose your ‘self’, as your business becomes your identity. 

Holly recounts her own experiences with making mistakes, how they’ve affected the woman she is today, and how perfectionism isn’t healthy to anyone or their business.
