This quote came to mind as I was chatting to Mitty - “People who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it", George Bernard Shaw. My 'friend' on this podcast is defintiely the person doing it!
Meet Mitty who, not only decided to start her business www.bridieandbert.com 3 years ago in covid, but also turned 60 this year which she celebrated by going to India - not just for pleasure also for business.
I'm very keen to discover how it all started, where did she get the idea from and find out what her great motivators are for growing her business - it involves a big kitchen! Her story starts way back when she was a little girl and she had her mother who kept their childhood clothes wrapped up in tissue paper.
Since covid she's built an online and wholesale business and now has 3 shops opening in St Mawes, Salcombe ad St Ives which she is eager for everyone to pop into and say hello if you're in one of those towns. She's also got great plans for the future (if you know anyone who lives on the East coast of America or involved with cruise companies she'd like your help) including expanding her range of clothes and her number of shops. Watch out Lymington and other seaside towns Bridie and Bert are heading your way!
Mitty knows who she is, how she works best and has learned to do things her way and ignore other people's fears. WARNING: Her enthusiasm, passion for life and all she does is very infectious!!
