Gen Z entrepreneur Grace Beverley has been racking up followers since day one as a health and fitness social media influencer. Now the founder of TALA and Shreddy, the direct-to-consumer sustainable fitness brand, Beverley has plans to continue growing on her platforms and help others to do the same with her new book ‘Working Hard Or Hardly Working.’
‘I wanted to start a conversation with readers outwardly and within themselves that tackles these contradictions, which provides a productivity blueprint from the next generation.’
Let’s take a look at some advice Beverley offers to apply to your life:
Plan, Plan, Plan
Beverley finds organising a schedule of tasks aids you to calculate how far you’ve come and makes you feel more at ease. ‘I find that planning is one of the biggest benefits of even just stress relieving and being able to even see yourself being able to complete what you want to complete.’
Be your biggest fan
The entrepreneur believes being self-confident will push you to achieve greater things and drive you to accomplish all you hoped for.
‘I think that one of the most important things is knocking down your own self-doubt first and working out if that’s bleeding through into what you think other people’s perceptions of you are.’
Diversify your team
Beverley has the opinion that it is important for her to address any unconscious biases she has. As a white woman educated at Oxford University, Beverley discussed how although being hugely privileged, she was often not addressed at meetings, even when she had an answer.
Due to this, Beverley thinks it’s essential to have a mixture of characters, genders, and races on your team, in order for you to cover all opinions or biases. ‘The important thing for me has been hiring people whose vision aligns with the brand and hiring a powerhouse of young women from all different backgrounds has been absolutely vital for that.’
Focus on the essential work first
The entrepreneur finds taking on too much at once can result in incomplete or mediocre work. After years of being in the industry, Beverley has discovered that finishing each task to the best of her ability one by one is a better approach than having a company that promises but does not deliver.
‘Say ‘no’ to more and take on less in order to give the attention where needed.’
