This episode’s topic, in a nutshell…

I loved this episode, but then I’m biased – Andrea is easy to talk to and she is not afraid to share her journey – which I find very helpful from other subject matter experts. We are in our heads so much – I think its important to have these conversations with other professionals. I believe talking openly about these things helps us all to retain our sanity and also show us what’s possible and “doable” in terms of ideas of what “working right” looks like.

Highlights

In this episode Andrea and I chatted about how she:

• Made difficult decisions at a pivot point in her business (to sell her “baby” that she’d grown with a business partner)
• Works out when she needs to change or evolve something in what she is delivering to clients
• Has learnt to be “ok” with just going with the flow and keeping her eye on the things that make sense to keep doing, or stop the things that don’t make sense anymore
• Has used her brand personality over the years to help her to be more of herself, more of the time and really enjoy her work and the people she attracts
• Tackled the transition from employment to self-employment
• How being a trained Engineer has set her up well for doing the work that she does today.
• Is creating something new today…in her 50s

If you have been looking to listen to a story from a well-established micro entrepreneur who has had to change their business over the years, without losing the traction and momentum of the audience and client base they’ve built over the years – this is the episode for you.
