Keep opening those doors! The journey to what you know is meant for you in your small business

Épisode 11

mercredi 28 mai 2025 • Durée 20:04

Welcome to the podcast for creative entrepreneurs!

I'm Amanda Waterstone, of QueenMee Accessories, let me take you on a journey of self- belief.

How would you approach the highs and lows in your journey, if you knew - for certain - that your dream business was just waiting to be connected to you? That it already existed?

This idea has been on my mind a lot recently, as I keep my goals for QueenMee in my sights.

I'm grateful to already have a 6 figure business that I love, and this was once my big goal.

Now that goal has come to pass, I hold the dream of a 7 figure business in my heart.

In the early days of growing QueenMee - although I did have a belief that I would get to 6 figures - I was also crippled with anxiety and doubt.

😍 How would we approach things differently if we truly believed our success was inevitable? That it was only a matter of time, if we just kept trying?

💗 This week, I'd like you to imagine you're in a room and you know, for sure, that your dream business is behind a door.

There are 30 doors in the room.

❔Do you give up when you open the first door and your dream is not behind it?

🤲Absolutely not! You keep trying, and keep opening doors until you open the right one!

Are you thinking of trying Pop Up Shops in your product business, or do you already do them, and would like some tips to maximise your sales?

I've done 45 John Lewis Pop Up Shops in my business QueenMee Accessories, and I've had consistently high sales. I'd love to share my tips with you for maximising your Pop Up Shops and Craft Fairs!

I'd really recommend that you give Fairs or Pop Up Shops a try in your small business. You'll learn so much in the process.

Do you get really excited about your plans for your small business, and put all of your energy into something, only to feel anxious about the outcome, and worried whether anyone will actually buy or engage?
