When Jeannette interviewed her mum for episode 132 of the Brave Bold Brilliant podcast, she received many positive comments. So many, that they decided to do it again. In this episode, Doreen shares more details of her life. Painting a picture of how the way life was just after the war pushed people to have a positive mindset, to push on regardless, to cope with going without while building a strong future for their families.

They also talk about the world of work. How women coped with the lack of career opportunities. As well as how Doreen´s independent spirit led to her running two businesses and investing in a holiday cottage at a time when very few women did so. They discuss how to ensure that you do not hold yourself back, nor allow the way society is structured to do so.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • After the war, rationing meant that people got used to going without.
  • There were no real opportunities for women. At the time keeping a house took up a huge amount of time because there were no mod-cons.
  • People got on with things even when times were tough, taking positive action regardless.
  • Running a business without partners gives you the freedom to be in charge of your destiny.
  • If you can afford to do so, go it alone when you set up your first business. It is less restrictive.
  • Take lots of business advice but try to be the one that makes the decisions.
  • Don´t over-stretch yourself financially when setting up your business, it just puts you under unnecessary pressure.
  • Never use money that you cannot afford to do without.
  • Don’t say anything about your plans until you have made up your mind. If necessary, take independent action to ensure nobody puts you off of following your plan.

BEST MOMENTS

‘After WWII … no matter how wealthy you were you really didn’t have anything because there was nothing to have. ´

‘I can´t understand why people moaned about kids, you weren´t angels but you were interesting.’

‘Employ people, but don´t have them as a business partner. It’s too restrictive.’

‘Nobody knows better than you…I think you’ve got to trust your instincts.’

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
