This week on the Lady Leadership podcast I caught up with Fatima Said. Fatima is the owner and founder of a Global Digital agency called Ewave. Ewave has ecommerce at it's core and is based in Australia, Asia and Europe employing 270 people world wide. Ewave work with some of the biggest brands in the world such as Ripcurl, Coca-Cola, Canon and Sportsgirl to name a few.
Fatima is such an inspiration to all and we talk about how Fatima got started in business, from starting her first global business with her brothers at the age of 16 whilst stil at school to now running a super successful ecommerce business - Ewave.
We talked about mindset, self limiting beliefs, being in control and setting really big goals and going after them and figuring out what you need to learn as you go. We discus the changing job of being an entrepreneur - trial and error and the ongoing learning to transform your business to the next stage. We also talk about running a global business and hiring a team plus learning to let go and hand off to others. Plus we also discussed working on the business versus in the business.
We also talked about how companies get together and that work is changing and being outcome focused rather than time focused and how to mentor and support your team.
Plus what inspires Fatima and how she learns.
Fatima is so humble and tenacious and super super smart. You are going to love this interview with Fatima. Check it out.
