Grow Your Experience || Petalon

The value of experience simply cannot be overstated. I often hear of people who want to skip steps, hurry hurry hurry, rush to the ‘finish line’ and think that success can come overnight. They rarely succeed. By contrast, those who have someone brave, someone keen to soak up experience and someone willing to enjoy the learning are much more likely to grow and thrive. And importantly, stand the test of time.

The reality is that you need a founder willing to take a risk, learn something new, develop their experience. This week, we have Florence Kennedy founder of Petalon. Florence, and her husband James, personify the attitude of embracing experience.

I get the feeling that Florence and James could turn themselves to anything. They could be selling flowers, flint for roofing or blankets. Their energy is infectious and their attitude is stirring.

If you are feeling weary, struggle with taking risks or have a gem of an idea that you haven’t acted on yet, then this is the episode for you!

Whenever I am asked what I would say to someone starting a business, I think ‘just do it’. When it comes to the failure side of things, how bad is the failure going to be really?
