Episode 177: Fear, Strengths, + Confidence, with Christy Wright - the Creative Empire podcast

Today, we’re talking with Christy Wright. Christy is the creator of the Business Boutique; she’s a certified business coach and a speaker who’s spoken on stages all across the country. She is also a podcaster. She’s the host of the Business Boutique Podcast and has and hosts an incredible one-day event. She’s helped many women step into their gifts and overcome fear, which I absolutely love, to make money living their dreams. She believes that you can do it too and I’m so excited to dive into this conversation. At the beginning of the episode, Christy explains the top three things new entrepreneurs get caught up on: not having a business background, thinking they are in a saturated market, and fear. She shares how to combat those feelings and shares about imposter syndrome. The trio talk about validation in your business and Christy shares how pre-validation can help. Lastly, they talk about needing to know your target market and the value of your product. Take a listen below!

“You can have all the degrees in the world and if you’re not willing to fall down and get back up, you’re not going to be a successful business, because the secret to being an entrepreneur is experimenting and some of those experiments aren’t going to go well.”

“The more that you do it scared, the less scared you become, because fear can’t torment you any more with these terrifying possibilities of what’s going to happen if you do it because you did it. Guess what? You survived.”
