Success is something that many of us shy away from promoting or sharing, or at least I do!
But today as we prepare for the My Business Awards 2019, where I am a finalist in the Businesswoman of the Year Award category, I feel like times are changing. Although this is an individual award, I wouldn’t be up for it without my team who have been through the highs and lows of running a business over the past nearly eight years.
Previously, awards dinners like these for me have been more of an excuse to bring the team together and let our hair down but tonight even if I don’t take out the win, I’m sharing it with my team, friends and family.
We all spend so much time chasing the dream, why not take a moment to actually enjoy when things have gone your way. I challenge you all to start sharing your successes – big or small. Enter awards that recognise your achievements outside of the four walls you sit in every day and promote it when they come through. You never know what it may bring. If anything, I hope by me sharing my award news here, it might encourage other women in business to enter next year.
So, how do you find out about relevant awards to your industry?
I’ve researched the main Australian business awards below, but make sure you do an online search for your specific industry and sign up for your association newsletter to ensure you don’t miss the deadlines. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your success stories in the near future!
