How to define 'doing well' with Sadie Reid, founder of Hip & Healthy
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
