Hands up if you KNOW you should just start where you are in business, but still want everything to be perfect at every step? (My hand is up). 

In this episode of Unemployed & Afraid we get to hear from Bec Connolly, Founder of Botanicals by Luxe, about how she embraced getting started as simply as possible to go on and build an incredibly successful skincare brand.

You’ll hear about:

-          Being drawn into business through a desire to marry a passion with a structure that allows for more family time.

-          Transitioning from a service-based business to a product-based business to push through the glass ceiling of earning potential.

-          Learning all things e-comm.

-          Pushing through the knockbacks from manufacturers in the early stage and finding a way forward.

-          Why it’s important to really take a moment to celebrate the milestones, and how easily we let them slip by in small business.

-          Reinvesting in your business and finding the courage to spend money to make money.

-          And how showing you and who you are in your marketing supports the development of your brand love, as does genuinely loving your customers back.

If you’re in need for some relatable business building inspo, you’re in the right place.

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
