I’m delighted that money mentor and wealth coach for ambitious women entrepreneurs, Katy Almstrom, joined me for this episode of the podcast to talk about a big topic that affects all of us in business - money.

Katy focuses on building wealth (as opposed to just aiming for big revenue numbers) and wants us to create a sustainable money strategy, simplify our money process, and build limitless confidence in our money habits and behaviors.

Join us as we talk about:

The seasons of money in business

How do you know which season you're in?

What are some action steps to take depending on your current season?

When feeling ‘not good enough’ stops us taking action in business, we’re reminded that our brain tells us stories to keep us safe and to stop us feeling the discomfort we might experience that our brain perceives as a threat.

That’s why our brain triggers the feeling of being ‘not good enough’

But why does it trigger the feelings of being not good enough because…

Why do we feel it’s because

We don’t know enough

We don’t earn enough

We don’t have a big enough audience

Or whatever the ‘because’ is for you

Let’s talk about why these ‘reasons’ on the show.

I am beyond delighted that Racial Equity Coach for online entrepreneurs and creator of the programme Represented, Annie Gichuru, joined me for this special episode of Taking It Personally to talk about the importance of building an intentionally inclusive business.

I know first-hand through being part of one of the cohorts of the Represented programme the open-hearted and generous way Annie educates and holds space for entrepreneurs who want to commit to inclusivity and who want to see a racially equitable world.

As an entrepreneur growing a heart-led business, you know how important it is to LEAD your business, that is, to put on your CEO hat to decide what you want your business to be, what you want it to mean and the values you want your business to demonstrate.

And there is no more important leadership action than to commit to building an inclusive business.

This is an episode you don’t want to miss so, grab a cuppa and join us on the show!

In this episode, I’m talking about something I see A LOT when people start their own business, particularly if they come from a regular 9-5 / corporate background

And that’s the feeling or belief that there MUST be a direct link between hard work and ‘success’ and that, therefore, working harder MUST be necessary to achieve more.

The bottom line is that, the way we’ve been conditioned to think about work in western society doesn’t help us easily transition to entrepreneurship and particularly not when it comes to the need to think like an entrepreneurial leader / with a CEO mindset.

So what to do? Let’s talk about it on the show.

If you’ve heard anything from me before and know that I say

Business IS Personal, you need to Build the Business Owner to Build the Business and thought:

‘Yeah, cute, but first I need to…’

Or similar

In today’s episode of Taking It Personally, you’ll hear that you’re right, all the ‘external’ work involved in growing a business is important

It’s crucial.

But you’ll also hear about my experience starting my first (eco-friendly stationery) business in the online space and how I discovered the importance of building the business owner to build the business (and how I discovered it the hard way, so that it can be easier for you ;-)

I’m SO excited to bring you this special episode of Taking It Personally about how social expectations have shaped us and how this shows up when we transition from education or employment to entrepreneurship.

I was joined for the episode by Dr Dina Wittfoth, psychologist and life coach for Brainy Misfits, which is the term she uses for people who have a considerably higher than average IQ and who have found they’ve had to modify who they are, or mould their behaviour, to fit in with societal expectations, instead of being able to OWN their gifts without compromise.

Join us as we talk about:

How societal conditioning can affect entrepreneurs, particularly when we’re new to entrepreneurship and how it can hinder our business progress

How entrepreneurs feel about ‘authority’ and why it’s the the values and expectations imbued in the roles within institutions or organisations (not necessarily the attributes or actions of the people in the roles) that causes tension

What it means to be ‘authentic’ and can we really be so in the online space? and

Why understanding societal conditioning contributes to entrepreneurial resilience 

This really is an episode not to be missed!
