Over the last two years we have enjoyed seeking out
inspiration from women who have founded companies and built successful brands.
Here is a collection of our favourite words of wisdom shared by some of the
most successful women in business we have met so far including Jo Malone; MBE
& Fragrance Entrepreneur, Chrissie Rucker Founder of The White Company, Tamara Heber-Percy MBE & Co-Founder of luxury travel experts Mr & Mrs Smith and our
US favourite; Co-Founder & Chief Happiness Officer at Happier Inc, Nataly Kogan.
"I wake up
each morning and the first question I think about is…
“Some of the greatest ideas come from mistakes, so
don’t be afraid to follow your own path”
Tamara Herber - Percy...
“...Mr & Mrs Smith
was born out of a frustration at the traditional way travel companies
were ‘supposed’ to engage with customers, so we aimed to
revolutionise the dusty travel book into a digital, global e-commerce business.”
Nataly Kogan...
“I have a rule - I ask for help once a day. A mentor,
someone on my team, a friend. Sometimes it's big, sometimes something small.
But it's a way of thinking and it also sets an example for my team that they
can and should do the same.”
Chrissie Rucker...
“One of the most crucial elements to success is to live,
sleep and breathe your customer…
“Things go wrong the whole time, have the state of
mind and attitude to look at what has gone wrong, learn from it, put it right
and say sorry as fast as you can… part of the learning curve is not to make the
same mistake again in future.”
“You are only
ever as good as the people you have around you at work and at home too”
