Description

Hands up if you KNOW you should just start where you are in business, but still want everything to be perfect at every step? (My hand is up).
In this episode of Unemployed & Afraid we get to hear from Ben Connolly, Founder of Botanicals by Luxe, about how she embraced getting started as simply as possible to go on and build an incredibly successful skincare brand.
You’ll hear about:
-          Being drawn into business through a desire to marry a passion with a structure that allows for more family time.
-          Transitioning from a service-based business to a product-based business to push through the glass ceiling of earning potential.
-          Learning all things e-comm.
-          Pushing through the knockbacks from manufacturers in the early stage and finding a way forward.
-          Why it’s important to really take a moment to celebrate the milestones, and how easily we let them slip by in small business.
-          Reinvesting in your business and finding the courage to spend money to make money.
-          And how showing you and who you are in your marketing supports the development of your brand love, as does genuinely loving your customers back.
If you’re in need for some relatable business building inspo, you’re in the right place.

This weekly podcast explores what it’s like to be starting your career over, with the people who’ve done it. In conversation, we tackle the messy middle of changing your life - how it feels to drop the identity of whatever came before and step into a brand new you – with, or without a plan.  Your host is Kim Kerton (hi!) the creator behind the handmade ceramics and plant-based recipes of Good Side of the Bed, a writer, marketer, yoga teacher, sea-changer, rev-head and pug mum. Before all that, Kim spent over a decade in the commercial media business. She decided to walk away, got unemployed and afraid, and here we are. This podcast is for the brave people who want to start over but are feeling the fear - maybe putting off starting because the end isn’t clear - and for those who find themselves right in the middle of the whirlwind. Whether by choice or by push, starting over is scary, Unemployed & Afraid is your tribe on the pathway through change.
