• Celebrate small successes along the way.<br />
Why did you decide to enter the Tammy Taylor<br />
Mrs SA Competition?<br />
To show my kids that one can learn something from doing the<br />
things that are out of your comfort zone or that you’re not<br />
good at. It was also a way for me to reconnect with<br />
me again.<br />
What did you learn about yourself through<br />
the competition?<br />
That I will never get comfortable with social media; it was important<br />
for me to remain true to myself throughout and I achieved<br />
that; I really can achieve anything I set my mind to. It is true what<br />
Napoleon Hill said: “The only limitations we have are the ones we<br />
set for ourselves.”<br />
Would you recommend participating in such a competition<br />
to other women?<br />
I wouldn’t discourage any woman from participating. I’d caution<br />
that there is time commitment over and above your day-to-day<br />
roles. There is work to be done in terms of charity and fund-raising,<br />
and it can get stressful and frustrating. You will learn a lot about<br />
yourself, your spouse and your family through this journey.<br />
Your motto in life?<br />
I try to live by the motto, “When you become fearless, everything<br />
becomes limitless.” It really is about being courageous enough to<br />
try something that is out of my comfort zone, as nerve-wracking<br />
or impossible as it might initially seem.”<br />
