I have come up against financial struggles, motivation struggles, people not believing in me, people trying to talk me out of pursuing my dream and the temptation to give up.

The best thing about being my own boss is the opportunity to determine when, where and how I work. I also get the opportunity to explore my ideas, be creative and pursue my dream without anyone dictating what I can or can’t do.

My top tips for Young Entrepreneurs are:

1)         Pursue your dream and vision with all your heart

2)         Don’t give up when the obstacles arise

3)         Believe in yourself, stay inspired and focused on the end goal
