Description

If you happen to be an employee currently deciding on if leaving to start your own business or simply explore something “else” is for you, this episode will be exactly what you need – we’ve both been there and are sharing some hard earnt lessons that will support you with whatever stage you’re at.
My guest today is the warm and deeply intelligent Camey O’Keefe, Director of Gambol Creative, and she shares the moment her business seed was planted by the impact of a particular speaker, and after listening to this I think she might just be the person whose sharing you’ll look back on in a few years’ time as the seed to exploring your own thing…
In this chat you’ll hear about the experience of:

What happens when you just say yes
Knowing when you’ve simply reached the end of the journey of working for others
The moves that only make sense in retrospect
Going into business when you never really wanted to go into business
Formalising how you’ll monetize as you get going
Relearning how to work on what you’re building - and that the business doesn’t work unless you do
Navigating whether to develop a service-based business under your own name, or a brand name
And realising there is rarely an end goal in the development of a business where everything feels “done” and ready to be shared

Great choice hitting play on this episode, because it is really about to deliver some uplifting, inspiring, down to earth real feels on the experience of building a business.

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.
