How do you start the day to set yourself up for success?<\/p>\n

I love to start the day with a morning walk with my partner before making my Tropeaka matcha to enjoy a quiet moment before the chaos!<\/p>\n

What are three daily habits you always stick to?<\/p>\n

Morning matcha, daily gratitude, and ‘no-phone’ time before bed.<\/p>\n

Lots of Aussies are looking for a career change \u2014 what small action can help them get ahead of other candidates?<\/p>\n

What stands out to me is when applicants take the time to attend to the finer details.<\/p>\n

You’d be surprised at how many applications don’t have a cover letter or have spelling errors!<\/p>\n

What financial myth do you wish you never bought into?<\/p>\n

In my first ever car, when I was 18, I believed that if I put my windows down the car would go slower and therefore use more petrol.<\/p>\n

So even in summer, in 30 degree heat, I would keep my windows up and never use the aircon to save money.<\/p>\n

What do you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?<\/p>\n

Last year [Begg turned 20 in 2024] was a wild one as it was the first year of my brand All For Mimi.<\/p>\n

I would tell my 20-year-old self to speak kindly to herself, take each “mistake” as a learning curve, and keep moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exclusive: In a new nine.com.au series starting today we’ll be talking to some of Australia’s smartest and sharpest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269587,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-269586","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
