Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“time management because at the time when I was just starting I actually had two part-time jobs, I was studying a full-time Masters degree and then this business idea just kind of came to me in the middle of the night and suddenly I was adding that to my plate as well. But I knew it was either then or never so I just took the plunge and organise myself right down to the last minute and called a few all nighters as well”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“don’t be afraid to screw up or make mistakes because we are not perfect and you are never going to do a perfect first time. So just get started and choose progress over perfection… So just do it imperfectly and then fix it later… If you just do it imperfectly at least you will get it out there and your clients will see the real you so they can connect to you better”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Katherine Skelly:
- “before anyone gets started it would be really good for them to find out actually what kind of learner they are and what type of personality they have. Because no one really thinks about that before you start but it’s actually really important because this will help you understand things so much better… The more you know about yourself the more you can use that to your advantage… If you know yourself well you can save time in the end”
- “the only secret to success is just don’t give up… You are going to have so many dark days for sure that just keep going”
- “I think far too many people these days especially with digital and spending time on social media and being visible worry about what other people think about them. But if you spend all of your time thinking about their opinion you are never going to get better. So just think about yourself. I know that sounds selfish but you have got to get your message out there”
