“I want to be in business for myself. I have lots of good ideas. How do I know which idea fit turn into a business?"

1. Choose something that you love to do.
Find something that you love to do, and you will doing it without regard for money. Trust me, if you dig in and do well, the money will come. However, if money is your primary motivation you have two strikes against you before you start. If money is the driver you will tend to make short-sighted decisions. People who work just for the money tend not to work as hard as those who love what they do.

2. Don’t let crowded markets frighten you.
I’ve heard people say that “I love this idea, but this particular business is already crowded.” In response to that I say “there is always room in any industry or business for someone who truly makes a difference.” And I can tell you that someone who loves what they are doing often makes a wonderful difference. People who make a difference tend to stand out from the crowd – and they are the ones who survive shakeouts.

3. When you love something…
“When you love something, it tells you all its secrets.” There is so much truth to this statement. It’s the accumulation and use of all those big and little secrets that separate the great companies from all the also-rans. People who are in it just for the money never learn any of the secrets.

4. The love needs to be there.
If you decide on a business and you literally love the idea of being in it, there is an excellent chance that you WILL find a way to be different. You will tend to work hard enough so one day, your business will tell you the secrets you need to know that will set you apart from the crowd.

5. So there you have it. Do what you love doing. It’s that simple. There’s also one more reason why you should do what you love. Life’s short. Why spend your time at something that isn’t fun?

6. It’s all about enjoying what you do.
Remember wisemen's saying: “We’re not here for a long time. We’re here for a good time.”

Brief history of flat shoes

The flat pump or ballet flat is now a must-have item in every woman’s wardrobe. But back in the 1500s it was the men that were cavorting round in these ultra-comfy ‘pompes’.

In fact, until the 16th century, flat shoes had been the choice for both men and women through the ages. The wealthy women of ancient Egypt wore flat sandals made from braided papyrus leaves, and decorated with jewels for a bit of sparkle. And the flat Roman sandal, with its sturdy leather sole, was ideal for all those excursions across Europe.

By medieval times the flat shoe was still in vogue but had now morphed into the long and pointy, and rather impractical, ‘poulaines’. The length of the shoe reflected someone’s social standing: commoners were ordered to wear shoes no longer than 6 inches; a Knight was allowed up to 18 inches; and a Baron could sport a pair of shoes up to 24 inches in length. Imagine running for the bus in those?

It was the pint-sized Catherine de Medici who, in 1533, first kicked up her heels. On the occasion of her wedding to Henri Duke of Orleans, she asked her cobbler to add an extra two inches to her wedding shoes.

And throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, high-heels became the norm for the ladies and gentleman of the royal courts (giving us the term well-heeled). Ladies’ shoes would often be decorated with pearls, fur and jewels. And the actual heels of Kings Louis XIV and XV depicted miniature battle scenes.

The return of the flat shoe

At the beginning of the French revolution in 1789, the high-heel became synonymous with aristocracy and was thought to be vulgar and ostentatious. And when it-girl Marie-Antoinette stepped up to the gallows in her heels in 1793, the fashion moment had passed and heels soon fell out of favour. For most of the 1800s, and during the industrial revolution, flat shoes, sandals and boots were a practical choice for both sexes. The heel didn’t appear again until the late 1800s but, this time round, exclusively for women.

Flat shoes in the 20th Century

In 1957 when Audrey Hepburn slipped on her ballet flats, Capri pants and oversized sunglasses in Funny Face: an icon was born. And we fell in love with flat shoes all over again. Jackie Kennedy reportedly loved the chic ballet flat so much – she ordered new pairs every month from her favourite designers.

Flat pumps today

The flat pump or ballet flat has now been a firm favourite for women of all ages for the last fifty years. But what makes them so loved in the 21st century? The ballet flat is smart enough for the board room, practical enough for the school run, and sassy enough to wear out on the town. They’re comfortable in the country (think long skirts and wrap tops). And cool enough for the city (think skinny jeans, minis and opaques). Ballet flats are comfy but never boring. They’re sensible and still sexy. And they come in heaps of colours. What’s not to love?
