MomBoss Chat: What We Wished We Knew Before Starting Our Businesses

Have you ever wondered what you would tell your younger self if given the opportunity?

If only you could go back and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Maybe there are a few things you wish you knew before starting a business. So, in this third episode of our MomBoss Chat we spoke to Diana Lai, Founder of Bunny Lashes and Jasmine Chua, Founder & Interior Designer of Frosh Design Studio on what they wish they knew before getting started.

What we covered in the chat:

• What would you tell your younger self before starting a business
• Their biggest mindset shifts after being an entrepreneur
• The biggest myth of entrepreneurship

Key takeaways from the chat:

• Entrepreneurship is a learn-as-you-go world. Start small and gain experience as you go. You will be surprised how much you can learn on the way and how many opportunities there are for improvement.
• As an entrepreneur, you will face tons of rejections. Focus on the positive, keep going and do your best, and eventually you will succeed.
• A good entrepreneur learns from his/her mistakes and reviews feedback from others. When you listen to constructive criticism, you improve yourself as a person and business owner.
• Being an entrepreneur does not mean that you can just sit back and relax. Entrepreneurship is about freedom to manage your time and hold yourself accountable for making your goals happen.
