KEY TAKEAWAYS
Annette had never planned on becoming an accountant but she knew from an early age that she wanted to run her own business as this what her father did.
Fire in the belly for Annette means, family, legacy and serving.
Annette like many parents found parenting came naturally to her in some areas but not others!
Annette loved dancing and performing as a child. She had a great set of friends and loved all of school. She didn’t find academia came naturally to her so hard to really work and study hard to achieve what she did.
Annette started creating her business whilst working full time but took the plunge and it was one of the greatest, life changing decisions she made.
Annette did struggle with the transition of going from a corporate role to being self-employed. Particularly in regards to productivity and loneliness but she soon built in systems and combatted these.
Annette is a big fan of planning and believes the time you spend planning ends up saving you time in the long run.
Annette always has future goals in place. She believes if you don't know where you are heading or where you want to to end up then there is no way you will ever get there.
BEST MOMENTS
“I firmly believe that my business is there to serve my life and not the other way around”
“There’s not often chances where you can completely be immersed in one singular thing”
“Their life still looks like yours used to”
“Five to seven thirty is just chaos!”
