Ashley Jamesさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Ashley JamesInstagram)「This morning spent quite literally on This Morning. 📺😍 Well today was a major moment for me as I made my debut on This Morning. It’s been on my bucket list to go on there - for my own merit - ever since I quit my job in 2012 to get into this industry. I remember when I first told friends and family I was quitting my job with no contacts to pursue this world, they thought I was mad. Even talked me out of it! I remember I’d saved £2000 which gave me two months to “make it”. I did temp work - handing out flyers, putting out flags on the seats in Wembley (that’s a lot of flags by the way), handing out cocktails at fancy events … I did it all… until I started being recognised for doing a certain tv show. It was funny doing a show about rich people when I didn’t have a penny to my name. Just a desire to be successful in an industry I never really thought normal people could be in when I grew up t’up north. Anyway, I’ve had a lot of rejection over the last decade, and I’ve always just minded my business and worked hard. I’ve always tried to support other women in this industry, always raising others up with me and never stepping on toes. I watched as friends got promoted and went on group holidays and I was still living in my overdraft as I neared 30 - secretly knowing eventually it would pay off. I did so many secret side hussles, even working for a hypnotherapist to keep afloat. There’s been lots of amazing moments over the past few years but it’s just getting better and better honestly. My ambitions are huge and I’m no where near there, but it’s important to enjoy the journey and appreciate the pinch me moments. I’m so glad I didn’t let rejection stop me and I took that first step to try. 2012 Ashley would be amazed if she could see me now. Anyway I guess I’m just sharing the back story because success can be fast or look easy, but it can also be a long game. And it looks different for everyone! But if you never try you never know! And even better… I’ll be back next week so I guess it went well! 🫶✨🥰 thanks so much for all the supportive messages this morning. Meant the world - especially after a 4am wake up call with my little lady! 📺❤️🥰💕」11月29日 2時35分
