Hi, graham here. Thanks for your questions. Vanessa is on holiday this week so it will just be Baukjen answering 3 questions this week.

Q: What's the best thing about having your own business?
B: There are so many things. I love that we can implement our ideas without having to wait for approval from other people, receiving nice emails and letters from women who wear our clothes. When it's your own business, its more personal and the high points are even better. Also I love that there's always next season to work on. We are often working on three collections at a time: the one we're launching, the one that comes after and designing the one after that... there's something very exciting about the future now. And last but absolutely not least I love working with the team here at Isabella Oliver.

Q: Whats the worst thing?
B: The hours. I love what I do so its not too bad but it's never ending. I hear this from everyone I know who runs a business. It just never really stops.

Q: What keeps you up at night work-wise?
B: Trying to remember everything I need to do the next day. There's always a few big things which are easy as they'll be in the diary but it's the little things that I worry I'll forget. Really I should just have a notebook next to my bed so I can jot it down and not worry I'll let it slip. Hopefully I'll remember to put that next to my bed tonight!

Well that's everything for this week. Keep those questions coming, usual address graham@isabellaoliver.com
