There’s something to be said for setting the bar just that little bit higher than what you’re comfortable with when building your business - the message you send yourself could be exactly what you need when times get challenging.  

Tommy Murphy, Founder of A1 Connect, shares how and why he did it, and so much more. In this episode we chat about:
Taking lessons from your youth into creating a business you’re proud of
The obligations we as business owners have to pay it forward wherever we can
Putting the cart before the horse and building a business that you can grow into by taking the big steps early
The immense value of finding the RIGHT networking group
Finding ways to capture all the thoughts that fly around in our entrepreneurial heads and be more organised with our various projects
And how to effectively negotiate and sell, so that both parties in the deal are getting a win.

If you want to build a business for the long haul, this episode is for you.

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

Get in touch at unemployedandafraid.com.au to be part of the show or to become a sponsor (we would love the support!).
