I’m Kate, a dog lover, hula hooper and crisp eater. I’ve always enjoyed writing and now I make my living by writing daft posts on Social media (according to my son) but in reality I have small business owners demystify the weird and wonderful world of Digital Marketing through courses, memberships, podcasts, books, events and more.
I must admit that although I love a bit of passion, I’d swap it for persistence and patience everyday.
Overcoming my fears has been a slow journey, it’s been uncomfortable at times. Speaking at events when I hated how I looked. Showing up on socials when I’d really rather not. I’m not sure what drives me if I’m 100% honest, it’s a mystery.
The confidence to try new things, be a leader, and a pioneer.
Not to compare myself to others. I know this might sound trite. But oooooh the hours I wasted trying to be what I thought was a ‘proper entrepreneur’, all glossy locks, white teeth and pencil skirts.
As soon as I started focusing on my super powers, rather than oggling other peoples’, things really started to take off.
I may not be for everyone, but being my true self is much more enjoyable.
My favourite quote is ‘Hell is other people’ Jean-Paul Sartre
But that aside I’m not a dreamer. I’m a doer.
That sounds harsh but I think my biggest skill in business is thinking up an idea (or dream) but then very swiftly turning it into action. And also being able to survive the dreams that turn into nightmares.
Get a good accountant. And after that, be really honest with yourself. Think about your why, are you in it for the money, to help people, to fufill a passion to work less. There’s no wrong answer here, but you must remember your why as it’s going to be challenged every step of the way.
