Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“when I first started, I think it was more about… It was like a mindset difficulty. I spent three years trying to figure something out. But also, it’s that fear of not feeling like you are able to do it. The reason it took me so long to find something is that I didn’t feel like I could actually do it. And so over time I obviously overcame that but I think really that was kind of a court difficulty for me… Is just feeling like this thing could be real and giving me the confidence to be able to leave my job and go alone”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“just doing it. I would say that definitely get some either help or get some information from people that have done it before you. There is nothing better than actually sitting down with a saged entrepreneur that’s been through the ringer. Because one that we don’t know when we are first starting out is what we don’t know… Experience really kind of helps you pave the right path. So, I will do that first and foremost. Find someone who has trodden path that you want to go on and just understand a little bit more not only what made them successful but what were the failures that they had so that you can actually learn from that and get on the right path”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Kirsty Verity:
- “being aware that things can go wrong”
- “don’t go too hard too early, be deliberate about what you are doing”
- “having someone to talk to that’s done before. I didn’t really find people that are done it. I had a lot of friends who were successful in their careers and things like that. I didn’t actually personally know anyone who had been out there and set up their own business that was successful in that business. So, I kind of went in with that uninformed optimism which got me so far. But I think just being able to have a good old chat with somebody with someone whose been there, done that, been successful, been through the pitfalls is a really good lesson. And actually, listened as well… I mean actively listen and take those things on board. I think it’s a great way to learn as well as reading books and things like that but there is nothing like experience. Literally sitting down with someone and really understanding what those core things and how to get around them”
- “it’s really believing that you can do it… Believe it to do it… So not just believe but take action on the belief that it will work”
- “just lean into it”
- “feel it because it’s real but just do it anyway and see what happens”
