How to Stop Dreaming and Start Doing (w/ Tiffany Jones-Lewis, Founder - TJL Collection)

And So, She Left: Wisdom from Women Beyond the Corporate World

Entrepreneurs are deep thinkers. We each have a million ideas zipping around in our heads, and if we’re lucky, a great one pops up every now and again.

But there’s a stark difference between the people who dream and the people who do.

Tiffany Jones-Lewis made that realization after serving 8 years in the navy. Before launching TJL Collection, a fashion brand aimed at tall women, she was a lifelong dreamer. The tallest one in the room from a young age, her height had always matched the loftiness of her professional goals…yet the security of her HR day-job held her firmly in place.

You’re about to hear Tiffany’s journey from dreamer to doer, the stumbling blocks she faced as a taller woman in fashion, and how she eventually learned to choose her own path.

Tiffany talks about:

• Cultivating an environment that allows her to dream big
• Why striving for perfection actually hinders your progress
• How she brought her vision and bring it to life through action
• How the internet pressures us to achieve rapidly at a young age
• Leaving the navy for entrepreneurship & proving doubters wrong
• Starting her business with her husband in Hawaii during the pandemic
