When I was younger, I hated going through tough times.  Actually, I was mortified by them. I would drive myself into a frenzy of anxiety expecting them, then depress myself during them, and then just be in a bad mood afterwards. I was under the impression that bad things and times should not ever happen. Life is meant to be an easy, happy, fun and enjoyable experience. Here, ladies is one of the reasons I don’t miss being young!

One of the worst things that can happen to me, or any  business person, is getting sick and needing to give myself a sick note, and as a result, not working.  My business, Roka Roko, is a wheel that needs to keep turning, and every day is so vital to the entire month being a success and ultimately the entire business dream. You see, I haven’t managed to get myself to a point where I can afford a week off!  So, we need to ensure that we do not take more than a day off in any week; plus all the other reasons like clients needing a dress in a week’s time.  So, as we are in the annual winter virus season, flu is not an option. No, no, no!
