Unemployed & Afraid

Developing a business is an underrated tool for personal development – you’ll know from going through it – it teaches you so much about yourself and rebuilds you from the inside out. This story celebrates that journey.

Kerryn Moscicki is Founder of the epic flat shoe brand Radical Yes!, and in the sharing of her business building story you’ll hear powerful insights gained over 12 years developing her brand.

This episode covers:

·         The flow of following a nudge

·         Why to enjoy that pre-launch period

·         The reality that many business owners might not do it again

·         The financial sticking point of going all in without capital or an investor

·         The benefits of being customer facing

·         Managing rapid growth

·         The difference between confidence and self-belief

·         And a healthy touch of woo-woo

You know the moment. You’re faced with well meaning friends and family members who casually ask “how’s that little business of yours going, kicking goals?” and you immediately either freeze up, or give the world's longest reply trying to convey that it’s not at all a little business and you’re working hard every single day on building it. 

In this episode your host Kim Kerton shares three replies to this question that can take the sting out of the awkwardness and even bring you a little closer together with the people in your life who don’t have the first-hand experience (and therefore, shorthand) to connect with you.

Is it time to start putting yourself on that pedestal you currently reserve for those you think are killing it in their business?

There’s a lot we have to work through when building a business but learning to battle down your ego – the one who wants you to stay small or don’t try – is one of the toughest.

If you’ve been building an e-commerce business it’s likely you’re already familiar with my guest today, but if it’s the first time you’re hearing from Lisa Jones Founder of SHE-com let me tell you – this conversation feels like a deeply nourishing business coaching session and quite frankly, a little kick in the bum.

You’re gonna hear about:

·        Becoming an entrepreneur when you’re surrounded by employees

·        Being careful who you let in

·        How just thinking about building a business works to prepare you 

·        Learning to pivot on the edge of a toenail

·        Letting go of the idea that your businesses will stay the same

·        The shadow of money worries

·        And building a business that exists outside of you

If you’re holding on to a specific outcome you want for your business and it’s driving you batty - this episode is for you. 

We put our heart, minds and all the feels on the line for the growth of ourselves and our businesses every single day - holding onto what we want to see as the outcome is a recipe for burnout and disappointment. In fact, it might be making you miss some absolute gold that’s right in front of you. 

In this episode your host, Kim Kerton, shares her own experience with holding onto an outcome that’s out of her control way too tightly, and how she’s letting it all go.
