Unemployed & Afraid

“How beautiful a thing that you get to do opportunities that you don't quite feel ready for,” Declan Edwards, Founder of BU Happiness College

Getting yourself PR, growing through new ideas, bringing on other people to help you build – every stage of business is about growth, and so much of it is scary.

But when you’re passionate about building a business with impact, you find a way through it – lucky for us we get to hear how other business owners are learning through it.

This chat is absolutely packed with relatable business-building advice and inspo - my guest is the wonderfully eloquent and passionate Declan Edwards, Founder of BU Happiness College, which is a business every bit as great as it sounds.

In this chat today you’ll hear about:

  • Exploring your curiosities and backing yourself to become an expert on what lights you up
  • Knowing when to walk away from your first business to start your second
  • Imposter syndrome battles
  • Really appreciating your early fans in business 
  • Refining your business for sustainable growth through trial, error and learnings
  • The part your personal brand plays with your business
  • Getting yourself out there through DIY PR
  • Why it’s important to have both an Integrator and a Visionary within a business
  • Hiring before you’re ready
  • And why it’s so important to get clear on what a successful business looks like to you

If you’re looking to hear stories from people who really get what it means to build a small business, you’re in the right place.
