It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time for another Q&A with noteworthy women on Tease + Totes. Founded by twins Natalie Bardega and Danielle Newnham, Tease + Totes provides modern day apparel for the inspired woman. Coming from careers in both fashion and tech, Natalie and Danielle decided to focus on creating products for a more aspirational society; one in which women and children are empowered to be whatever they want to be.
This Wednesday the Tease + Totes blog featured our very own Robyn Exton. The Q&A covers her beginnings as an entrepreneur along with a few of the victories and hurdles she’s faced since. Here’s a sneak peek of what Robyn had to say:
Newnham: What advice do you have for other women thinking about starting their own venture?
Exton: Don’t listen to the fear. There will always be a seed of doubt in your mind as to whether this is the right idea and time. But there will never be a perfect idea and time. If you can lose the fear of what the worst thing is that could happen, you’re free to take risks and see what you can make happen. We’re so restricted but the what ifs and not sures that actually, when you’re totally fearless, you make much bigger and bolder decisions that can really pay off.
Newnham: If you could go back in time, what advice would you give a younger Robyn?
Exton: Challenge yourself more. I spent a bit too long doing things I knew I could do. With the amount of information that is accessible today, you can figure out a way to tackle just about anything. You just have to start with the first step.
