Building a business from the ground up can not only be hard, but it can also take a lot of courage. You need to take risks, put yourself out there, and also put your livelihood on the line PLUS be able to believe in yourself enough to survive through the challenging times. Because, trust me – no matter what business you are in, curve balls tend to show up!

I absolutely love hearing and sharing stories of people who have been through the challenges and come out the other end of the business journey. It’s inspiring and motivating and you can actually pick up some great golden nuggets of wisdom that you can use to help you in your own business or career.

On this ep I invited Olivia Carr is Founder of the multi-million-dollar global brand Shhh Silk that has been made famous by the backing of many A list celebrities. Olivia is a no-secrets entrepreneur, a philanthropist and a social change maker and has recently released a new book called Self Made, which shares the lessons and experiences Olivia has had over the course of her career.

Her story hasn’t always been an easy path. After becoming a young single mum at age nineteen, Olivia defied the odds to become so successful in business. But her success wasn't without years of personal struggle: a decade of financial hardship, a fight for an opportunity in the business world, and a personal battle with anxiety.

‌Olivia is so on brand, especially with what I work on in my business, the Guide Your Light Network… she is passionate about mentoring other women in business and has created a brand synonymous with giving back, inspiring people, and changing lives.

This chat will light a fire in your belly to start on a new personal mission or generally just become unstuck in life, and find more meaning and more clarity. Sounds good to me!!

I loved getting to know Olivia, and if it’s your first time hearing from her, I think you will love it too.
