British
singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham could have easily retired after her
'Spice Girls' days and lived a very comfortable life of luxury - but she
transformed herself in to a successful business woman instead, launching her
own label in 2009 and it now continues to rapidly expand in all areas. Speaking
on her amazing journey which has required a lot of effort and focus, Beckham
says she has had her moments of self-doubt along the way but she thinks it's an
important part of the process and just a healthy feeling to have: “I think
everybody has crazy moments of self-doubt and an element of that is probably
quite important. There's nothing wrong with having a second little person
sitting on your shoulder, making sure that you're remaining appreciative".
Victoria
adds that while it's good to stay grounded and sometimes question yourself, it
isn't healthy to focus only on the negative aspects because a positive attitude
is needed to be successful and fight those battles at the beginning:
"But you should definitely not waste too much time being negative in
any way. It's about positive thinking, positive energy, and fighting if you
need to fight.”
The
designer says she didn't have anything to prove to other people and set out to
prove a point to herself. She says that she focused her efforts and worked on
one thing at a time as she built her fashion empire: "I didn't go
into this to prove anything to anybody other than myself, I was very focused. I
didn't try to do everything at once."
