Today I’m joined by the brilliant and very real Lisa Teh - author of Get Real: 30 Stories of Female Founders & Other Lessons in Business.

Lisa doesn’t sugar-coat the entrepreneurial path; she shines a light on the wins, the wobblies and the in-between moments that shape us.

We talk about her unconventional journey from tax law to Witchery’s marketing team, and how curiosity pulled her into building digital agencies in the early days of social media.

It’s a reminder that your first chapter doesn’t define your future - that enthusiasm and initiative open surprising doors - and it could just be your inspiration to find a side hustle or business that's right for you.

We also dive into selling with heart (start with vision and purpose), why embracing “failure” speeds your growth, and the power of simplifying your decisions so you can focus on what matters.

Expect practical wisdom and plenty of energy - plus a fun side note: Lisa converted me to strawberry matcha!😂

If you’re ready to build momentum on your dream or business idea, pop in your earbuds and press play.

And if you want hands-on support, a wonderful learning community and accountability, explore our new Dream Business Book Club here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/businessbookclub - I’d love to help super-charge your effort and cheer you on.

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in. So please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.    

Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛
