When you are running your own business, it’s important to remember one thing: the reason why you started. This reason is personal to you, whether you want to escape the 9-5, spend more time with your family or something else, but it should be something you remind yourself of frequently. In this episode, Katherine expands on this and explains why this is crucial as an entrepreneur.

It sounds obvious, but it is crucial as a business owner to actually take a break, book a holiday or give yourself time to rest. In this episode Katherine emphasises the importance of setting boundaries, avoiding burnout and making time to live your life away from work.

Your business is growing, developing and, from the outside, everything looks amazing. But, with growth comes change, and what happens when you actually start to fall out of love with your business, your work is giving you anxiety and you actually dread showing up to work? It’s rarely spoken about, but Katherine shares her very real experience of this, and how she changed things in order to fall back in love with her business again.

It happens to everyone in business. You’ve discussed a project or service, talked about prices and even sent the final confirmation and then – poof! - the customer ghosts you. You chase, you reach out, but you get nothing back. At some point down the line, they suddenly reappear and want to start tomorrow. In this episode Katherine shares how to handle this very common situation, rather than let panic set in.

When you’re an entrepreneur, it’s easy for the hours to creep up and up. You work your 9-5, but then you jump on emails in the evening or pick up work over the weekend. The result? It’s not sustainable; it ends in burnout. Katherine has learned the hard way, and in this episode she shares the reality and how she’s managed this.

Whether you’re just starting out or an expert in your field running multiple businesses, one fact remains certain: people will ignore you. In this episode, Katherine shares her experience of this, and how best to handle it when (not if) it happens to you.

In life and in business a valuable lesson to learn is that, sometimes, people are dicks. It’s not always a fairy tale, and in this episode, Katherine shares her perspective on how to handle the trickier relationships in business.

One little spoken about reality of being an entrepreneur is that, no matter what is going on in your personal life, you still have to show up to work. It seems obvious, but when you’re just starting out in business, the buck stops with you, so what happens if you’re sick? In this episode, Katherine shares what she wishes she’d known from the start.
