[151] Being Boss with Emily Thompson
Have you heard of the Being Boss podcast? If so, you’ll know my guest today – one half of the BB duo – Emily Thompson. If not, you’re in for a treat. In this episode, I interview Emily about what it means to be the boss of your business and your life. We cover a lot of juicy mindset topics, and we discuss Emily & Kathleen’s new book – Being Boss. I loved talking with Emily, and I hope you get a lot out of this episode! In other news… I introduce you to something very exciting happening on the pod in July! Listen below to find out more! Quotes and highlights from this episode: * Emily started with her first business at age 18 and her career has shifted and changed many times since then. * It is very unlikely that you are going to find the things you are going to do for the rest of your life early on. * Confidence is a muscle – the more you work it the stronger it gets. * “Find the ways to remind yourself that you are awesome at what you’re doing or you will figure it out along the way.” {Emily} * Being stuck in fear will not allow you to lead a fulfilling life and work. * “Confidence is something you will have to practise and you will always have to practise.” {Emily} * Look for proof in your past experiences of times the thing that scared you worked out. * Take a breather from the problem – get some perspective and change gears and then come back with fresh eyes. * Entrepreneurs are making it up and figuring it out as they go along. * “We are all experimenting. You have to be willing to do the experiments and take the risks.” {Jess} * The more you try the more you will fail – get comfortable with failure to allow you try new ways and new things. * When things are no longer fulfilling in your business it is time to let consider what you need to change to get back to fulfillment. * “There are times when a dream job is no longer dreamy.” {Emily} * Systems and process are very important to business it is important to leave space to be creative. * “You can systemise yourself into a rut where you don’t have the space to allow your creative juices to be flowing.” {Emily} * Find out more about Emily, the podcast, and the Being Boss book here.
