Start Before You Feel Ready: Why Confidence Comes After Action
In this episode of the Work It Like a Mum podcast, we’re joined by returning guest Daniela Wainwright, Founder of Wainwright Consulting.
Daniela has built a successful business as a bootstrapped founder and now leads a growing team of fractional finance directors. In this honest and practical conversation, she shares what it really takes to step away from corporate, build confidence, and create a business on your own terms.
What We Cover:
- Daniela’s journey from corporate to founder
- The reality of starting and growing a business
- Why confidence holds so many people back
- Overcoming fear, imposter syndrome and mindset blocks
- Building a personal brand and showing up (even when it feels uncomfortable)
- The rise of fractional working and flexible careers
- Tools and strategies to strengthen mindset and resilience
Key Takeaways:
- Confidence grows through action, not before it
- Fear is normal, but it shouldn’t stop you taking the next step
- You don’t need to follow the “traditional” path to build a successful business
- Mindset is a skill you can actively work on and improve
- Small steps forward build momentum and belief
- You can design a career that fits your life, not the other way around
Why Listen:
If you’re thinking about starting something new, taking the next step in your career, or simply feeling stuck, this episode is a powerful reminder that confidence doesn’t come first; action does.
