If you’re a business owner (or aspiring business owner) I bet you have a head full of ideas for different business ventures.

So how do you know which is the right one to pursue, and which is best left in the desk research phase?

My guest today is the insanely inspiring Amy Parfett, Co-Founder of two awesome businesses Wedshed & Give With Gravy, and in the sharing of her story you’re about to hear things like:
The myriad of shelved ideas you go through in business to find the one/s you want to follow
Creating businesses that give true value to those who use and contribute to it
Falling into a tech business by accident
The challenge of growing two businesses
How to market your business when it takes a little longer than an elevator ride to explain
What actually happens when you write a book around the topic of your business offering
Learning to put yourself and your business out there confidently
And the timing challenge of when and who [and what role] to hire as you scale up

The inspo is firing thick and fast in this one listener and you’re going to love it – if you do, don’t forget to let me know with a review.

A business podcast for the brave self-employed.

Growing your own business can be one of the most gratifying, wonderful, life-changing experiences around. It’s also scary as hell. This is a weekly podcast for the ones who have made the brave decision to employ themselves anyway.

We're for the full gamut of business experience - from Solopreneurs, Side-hustlers, Micro-business, Small Business, Medium business, Independent, VC backed, Bootstrapped and more - here for the real stories and priceless insights of it all, well beyond the PR headlines.

Join fellow business-builder Kim Kerton as she dives into the realities of starting something from scratch, helping you feel less alone in the lows and reminding you of the highs that make it all worthwhile. Hear real talk and raw feels from people right in the thick of it and feel seen as you listen.

Small business is tough - all business is tough - it will be one of the most intense things you'll ever do but it will also be the most impactful experience you can imagine. So surround yourself with a community of business owners willing to share with you their learnings, from those a few steps ahead, to many business milestones ahead, and even those just behind, and feel supported to build the business of your unique dreams. 

This is a podcast built to support you to build your own small business, to tackle the statistics and keep more of us in business for ourselves. To say thanks, you can support this independent podcast and small business by shouting your host a cuppa at buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpod

Unemployed & Afraid

“I was tired of chalking up wins for other people's businesses and I'd always had that desire to do something for myself,” Amy Parfett, Co-Founder of Wedshed & Give With Gravy
