Is there anything more inspirational than seeing a woman in her element, full of confidence and having the time of her life? I’m in conversation with Jennifer Hamley. She celebrate women with handbags & accessories that are celebrated as totems of fun & confidence.

Jen's journey on the surface is one of success but she talks about how, just this past summer, she was ready to shut the business down. She actually made the decision to close it but in doing so, this led her to a shift in mindset and a renewed energy and inspiration to keep it going.

During the show, we talk about:
The rollercoaster that is entrepreneurship and running your own business
Having a network of people to support you
What happens when a sketch wins an award and is put into production at speed!
Her desire to promote women and confidence
The nomadic lifestyle she prefers
Developing her own sense of self worth & self confidence
Building a loyal customer base
Her latest award with Taja Coconut Water and her bag going out as part of their launch to influencers and celebrities
Shifting mindset and her own perceptions
Finding herself again and making sure there is life outside of the brand
How deciding to close her business down suddenly freed her and her clipped wings grew back as she knew she had the option of closing
Learning from your own mistakes
How scarves fit with the handbag designs
Her advice to find a network of people doing similar things but at different stages in their journey

At the end of this episode, there is a brief interview with Jordan Bucknall of Upbeat Agency. He provides a great tip on getting started with Facebook advertising on a low budget.
