I am still here thinking about yesterday and I canโ€™t quite put it in words. When I decided to leave my job on the 31st of December 2025 my colleagues got me The Diary Of A CEO, 33 laws of Business And Life as they knew how much I loved the show and . Granted I had the book already but still I was grateful that, that was the gift they chose to give me when I made that bold decision to leave my job and focus on my business.

Fast forward to Thursday 28th of May at 18:18 I got the email saying Iโ€™M IN! I , Jemima, had been selected to participate in the in Manchester. I could not believe it! I searched on Google 3 times, asked both ChatGPT and Claude just in case one of them was lying to me and even called the restaurant just to quintuple check ๐Ÿ˜….

Yesterday I met my role model. The person I listen to every single day. The person whoโ€™s book I pick up to read when things are not going right and the person that I pray I will one day be able to create even just a fraction of the impact he has created.

thank you so much for been you, and for giving people like me hope. Thank you so much to the entire team for putting this event together. You guys may not know this, but you changed lives yesterday ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—.

Thank you to the whole community as well. This is all of our achievement. We did this! Finally thank you to myself . Girl I am proud of you! Keep believing in yourself and working hard for the cause you believe in!

Today is 25th April 2026 and it is not too late to create a vision board. You do not need to wait for a special occasion or for New Year to create a resolution. Your dreams can start at anytime. Just start!

Everything we are building at BFS started as a note in a journal. Keep writing down the vision.

Getting ready to source products? Always negotiate your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ).

Manufacturers often quote high MOQs initially, but many are willing to lower them for a sample run if you present a strong, professional business case.

Donโ€™t be afraid to ask! ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐ŸŒ
