Ok so because it’s Friday, here’s a little bit Ok so because it’s Friday, here’s a little bit about me... My name is Siobhan Casey and I am an Interior Designer. I’ve been in the design industry for over 15 years and yes while there are good days and frustrating days, I can’t imagine doing anything else. ❤️ You can find my ID company here @caseyandfox where we do bold and colourful residential and commercial interiors. Due to time restrictions😖, I’m not as active on that IG account as I should be. And I’ve been running our peer support network and community Metier Rendezvous for Interior Designers for a little over 10 years. .... and I got my first hair cut in over 6 months yesterday 🎉 I have to say, the salon was very careful and considerate and obviously under pressure to do things right for their customers. It must be rather unnerving for non-medical staff to have to relearn and REMEMBER new processes and procedures to ensure clients safety, while living and working through a pandemic. My hat goes off to them all! From my side, I’m rather relieved to have taken some of the weight out of my hair, feel so much lighter 😁 . . . . . #metierrendezvous #londoninteriordesigner #surreyinteriordesigner #ukinteriordesign #ukinteriordesigners #interiordesignbusiness #interiordesignbusinessmentor #interiordesignbusinesscoach #businesssuccess #businessplan #interiorproject #interiormilk #communityovercompetition💜 #entrepreneurjourney #worklifebalanced #haircutsforwomen #newhaircut #newhairstyle #fearlessfriday #fridaythoughts #followfriday #meet_share_prosper #powerwithin #interiorblogger #interiorlover #interiors4all #peersupport #peersupportgroup
Did you know that only 50% of all woman across the Did you know that only 50% of all woman across the globe actually follow their dreams?⠀ ⠀ That’s quite something to think about isn’t it? Is it a positive statistic or negative one? 🤔 ⠀ I think the key question to ask here is WHY?⠀ ⠀ A Forbes Article from 2019 dug down a little on this topic and here were their findings:⠀ ⠀ ❌ Lack of support⠀ ⠀ ❌ Lack of capitol (£)⠀ ⠀ BUT the major contributing factor was..⠀ ⠀ ❌ Lack of confidence⠀ ⠀ ⠀ One of the major reasons many women don’t pursue their goals is a lack of confidence. Research has shown that on average, men are more confident than women.⠀ ⠀ So WHY is it that we are self-sabotaging ourselves? ⠀ ⠀ Now I love these words by Tina Fey, “Confidence is 10 percent hard work and 90 percent delusion — just thinking foolishly that you will be able to do what you want to do.”⠀ ⠀ So in a way I can completely resonate with this. When I was a young lass, many (many) moons ago, like so many of us, I had my heart completely broken. ⠀ ⠀ Now in a small town, I couldn’t avoid this chap entirely for various social reasons, and every time I saw him, my stomach would be in knots. However I remember very clearly saying to myself that he was never going to see me in tears, or anything less then a confident young woman who couldn’t care less what he was up to or who his new fling was. ⠀ ⠀ I was going to ‘fake it, until you make it’ ⠀ ⠀ So I carried on with the biggest mask on my face, completely faking that I was over him.... until you know what? About 2 months later... I WAS completely over him. 🥳⠀ ⠀ So the methodology is completely transferable here. And yes it is utterly nerve wracking starting your own business! But if you ask questions about anything you don’t know .... before you know it... 10 years will have passed and you will be a seasoned pro! What is the 1 thing that you think has held you back so far?
Well by some pure spot of luck, I’ve managed to Well by some pure spot of luck, I’ve managed to snag a hair appt this morning after being told I’d need to wait 5 weeks due to the waitlist. 🥳 Finding myself both excited to get a new do ... and... yes perhaps a bit nervous as to how they are going to manage the process. ⠀ ⠀ However, as much as hubby assured me that he can 😳TRY😳 to cut a straight line, I’m not sure I want to leave this particular task in his hands. ⠀ ⠀ So after 6+ months since my last cut, my hair is looking somewhat like a bedraggled student who has been hibernating too long and hasn’t located her hairbrush in several weeks. ⠀ ⠀ TMI...? ⠀ ⠀ Oh well 😂⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 📷 thanks so much to the lovely @sara_slade_interiors for permitting us to use her pic of this uber elegant bedroom. . . . . #metierrendezvous #londoninteriordesigner #surreyinteriordesigner #ukinteriordesign #ukinteriordesigners #interiordesignbusiness #interiordesignbusinessmentor #interiordesignbusinesscoach #interiorproject #interiormilk #communityovercompetition💜 #entrepreneurjourney #worklifebalancetips #bedroomdecor #bedroomdesign #elegantbedroom #mutedtones #pendantlights #calmyourmind #calmatmosphere #relaxingbedroom #haircutsforwomen #busyday
