Manage episode 337139447 series 2801707
Today we hear from Sadie Reid, founder of digital health and wellness magazine Hip & Healthy and co-founder of women’s sustainable luxury loungewear brand Luxe + Hardy. Having previously worked at Condé Nast Traveller magazines, Sadie founded Hip & Healthy in January 2012 to inspire readers to be the best version of themselves. Now regarded as the UK’s premier online health and wellbeing platform, Sadie also went on to co-found luxury loungewear brand Luxe + Hardy in July 2018. Sadie shares her advice on how to define success and how to take care of yourself too.
Sadie’s advice:
- Accept failure as part your day-to-day life in business; failure is inevitable and instructive
- Don’t worry about failing publicly: no-one’s looking
- Don’t doubt yourself
- Don’t try to do too much too soon, focus on one thing and do it really well
- Success is being able to achieve work/life balance and personal happiness
- Don’t underestimate the importance of supporting your team at the beginning
- Flexi-working is helpful and healthy for everyone
- Don’t answer emails in a hurry because you may miss something and have to spend time amending them later
- It’s essential to nourish your body and drink enough water to avoid burnout; sleep is obviously important too
- Recognise when you’ve been working hard and don’t be afraid to take your foot off the pedal; reward yourself with proper holidays
