Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Gerda Mi. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Gerda, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I think it’s very and interesting and needed question for everyone, to be aware about this situation and find your purpose. When i was young i wanted to be actress or dancer, but my country and suroundings,including my family, was very unsupportive with this idea, so when i though i will try fashion in London – and i tried every job i could from assistant to PR, digital marketing stylist,event manager, you name it – one of my friend gave me a very good advice.
As at that time i didn’t know what to do with my life and what is my purpose, my friend said – try it out everything, go to every work interview, see you where you good, where you bad, what you like and what you don’t. And in every job i saw my best sides and worst, i saw where i flourish and where i suffer. That made me relise more who i am and what is inspires me. In the end i just love to create beauty no matter what i would create.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I have a small – sustainable fashion – swimwear brand. – @makarawear I like a bit adrenalin so i do quite few sports like surfing, motocross , boxing. Most about it i like the monatomic training and meditative state those sports get me in. I like the flow. I am all time dancer, so love great music, so getting in the rhythm of the sport – like running,boxing,cycling – makes me fly. That feeling creates comforting place for me to feel safe and growth – i guess that’s why i create active wear and swimwear – so women can feel safe preforming in my created suits.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Stay Calm & Focused. All things will come when they need to come, by breaking the wall with the head – don’t forget you breaking your head too. Please note i am not saying don’t do anything. I am saying use the moment, become more aware about your opportunities and timing.
Do you think it’s better to go all in on our strengths or to try to be more well-rounded by investing effort on improving areas you aren’t as strong in?
I think both of them is very important. It has to be balanced . But a lot of times in life is attitude. So it’s always better in places where you need to preform – focus on your best sides. And on the same hand very important to work on your bad sides in the most vulnerable and painfull moments, because this is than huge progress can be seen.
