We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Erin Hightower a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Erin , we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
Developing my confidence and self-esteem hasn’t been easy, it has been something that I struggled with as a teen and even into my younger adult years. The older become, I’ve noticed that when you are confident and have great self-esteem you can establish healthy habits, achieve a better balance between work and personal life, and discover your passion for what drives you. I’ve developed my confidence and self-esteem by believing in myself and my abilities, being kind to myself by remembering it’s okay to make mistakes, avoiding comparison, celebrating my success, and becoming assertive by setting boundaries.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
Hello, my name is Erin Hightower, I am the founder and creator of TWP Private Tutoring. I am a fun, passionate, and engaging teacher who has been nourishing and impacting children for over ten plus years. TWP is a faith business that specializes in utilizing hands-on educational methods that facilitates a fun personalized approach to learning while stimulating students’ enjoyment and appreciation for subjects. What makes me proud about my business is the significant growth in myself as a full-time entrepreneur and seeing my scholars maximize their full potential academically and socially.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The three qualities that have helped me become successful are staying committed, persistent, and staying positive. The advice that I would give someone who might be starting off in their business journey is to be adaptable and have a strong work ethic. Starting a small business is not easy, but it is rewarding!
Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?
One of the biggest areas of growth that has helped me over the year as an entrepreneur is being and becoming resilient and adaptable. I’ve learned that to become successful in any industry as an entrepreneur, you must have the ability to be resilient and adapt to change. In the last year, I’ve experienced many unforeseen circumstances, but because of the confidence that I have gained in myself, has allowed me to become innovative and creative. It has also allowed me to try new methods, strategies, and ideas to achieve much success.
