Description

Building your own business comes in so many forms, and today we get to hear about the incredible business of freelancing with my guest Alex, of Alex Mills Social, chatting about the breadth of unique challenges and learnings the world of social media and strategy consulting brings.
Because when you are your business, and responsible for keeping that pipeline building while doing the do – there’s a bit to balance.  
In this ep you’ll hear us chat about:

The value of time as a freelancer, or any type of business owner, when it comes to subjective networking
Identifying your transferrable skills
Vanity metrics & “trying to win” at socials
Getting ghosted when pitching yourself
The importance of time spent on both promoting yourself and learning
And a lot of excellent social media tips to boot.

If you’re looking for some business solidarity and inspiration, 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.
