Connection, Community & Compliance with Phuong Barraclough

In Phuong's words

Boundaries as a woman in business

"What's really important as a woman in business is that we're often fed by culture and society the idea that we should meet the needs of whoever comes our way, whenever it comes our way. That we're maternal givers who go above and beyond ourselves.

When you're a woman in business, that takes a different shape and a different form, and we need to respect some of those boundaries to keep us healthy in business, so that we can be healthy women."

Checking you're still on the path

"It's important for every business owner, regardless of where you're at in your journey, to do regular check-ins: am I on the path towards my goals? Reminding yourself to stay on track, but also valuing the time you commit to your business and your work.

Something I've learned in hindsight, coming into the new version of my business, is the true value of my knowledge, my experience and my time. Dedicating it intelligently to the right avenues and services, and being really clear about what it is I don't do. That can be really hard."
