It's time to put our cards on the table and answer this question: what's stopping you from becoming a cut flower grower? It's been a rainy old week yet on the sunniest two days I wasn't around to get on the plot but as the ground is still so wet, it's not a huge problem. So I'm talking to you in this episode from the warmth and dryness of indoors, where I'm really analysing what sort of things hold us back from starting to grow and sell cut flowers. By challenging as many reasons as I could think of, ranging from lack of time or money (or both); to lack of knowledge or experience (or both); to lack of confidence (I've been there...); to the fears that we all get (everyday) like fear of failure/rejection/ridicule/pity/financial ruin... (the list goes on); to backing yourself and being your number one supporter, I'm smashing through these one by one. Towards the end of the episode there's a timely reminder of why I wanted to get into growing cut flowers and how I hope this is going to be a really fun and exciting enterprise. ** When I was in the doldrums in 2024, I was lucky enough to have a few life coaching sessions from a very good friend of mine, Gina. This incredibly talented and wonderful lady is brilliant at what she does, and thanks to her I now have positive affirmations stuck all over my home (and in my head). And thanks to her (and some HRT patches) I'm feeling like a totally different woman. If you have the opportunity to work with a life coach, I highly recommend you take it. Please ask me if you'd like Gina's details. **In this episode, I’m diving into what's holding you back.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why lack of money, experience or knowledge should NOT hold you back✅ How to stop fear and lack of confidence halting your dreams✅ The importance of being your own No. 1 supporter and advocate ✅ How nature will always throw curve balls and test you ✅ A reminder of why growing cut flowers is fantastic, exciting and magical🌻 Follow &amp; Stay Connected!If you like what you hear, please follow the podcast so you never miss an episode.
