  • Start your side business the right way with My First Business

    When establishing your business, it's essential to have a safety net or cushion in place to facilitate a smooth transition from full-time employment to becoming a fully-fledged business owner.

    My recommendation is to have a readily available 6-Month Expense fund for yourself.

    In today's episode, I share my strategies for building your fund or safety net so you can get into your business fulltime asap.

    Furthermore, Laurence highlights how traveling provides continuous opportunities to connect with new people and potential clients, fostering personal growth and insights essential for entrepreneurship.

    We delve into practical advice such as budgeting for a nomadic lifestyle and adapting to different cultural norms in the countries he visits, optimizing both himself and his business.

It often becomes amplified when we allow the fears of others, especially those who are hesitant about taking risks like starting a business, to solidify the negative thoughts lurking in our minds.

    In today's episode, we will discuss practical steps and mindset strategies to confront and overcome these doubts and challenges with confidence and self-belief.

    While doubts, risks, and fears are valid, we also possess the strength and confidence to be successful business owners.

  • I can’t stress enough when I say, 'Being an entrepreneur can change your life for the better.'

    That may be a bit hard to believe given the challenges that will come with starting your own business, especially when you have the safety and structure of a full-time job.

    But once you complete your transition to being a business owner, You'll feel how fulfilling it is to be in control of your life’s expression, making decisions about how your day goes and what purpose each day will serve.

  • Can I share a little secret with you, something I recently discovered?

    I've come to realize that I'll never feel completely prepared for those significant moments in life, and you know what? That's perfectly fine. In fact, I believe it adds a deeper sense of meaning and grandeur to those occasions. This revelation hit me when I took on the role of a celebrant at my friend's wedding a few weeks ago. Initially, I didn't feel entirely ready for the responsibility, but I chose to fully embrace it.

    I refused to let anything hold me back; I dove headfirst into the task and did everything necessary to ensure her wedding became a truly wondrous celebration of love.

    I learned that starting before you feel ready can help you overcome fears and doubts, build momentum, and seize exciting opportunities in both your career and personal life. The truth is, those big moments don't wait for anyone.

    If you wait around until you feel completely ready, you might miss out on the magic!

    Join us on the latest episode of the Get Confident podcast and learn how to seize every moment!

    We're celebrating a new skill I've learned and applied by being the celebrant for my friends wedding! If you or someone you know is getting married and you'd like me to be your celebrant, check out more info here.

    Episode Description:
    Hey, beautiful! Welcome back to another episode of the Get Confident podcast.

    I've picked up a good read recently, "The Diary of a CEO" by Steve Bartlett. This inspired me to dive deeper today into one concept he shared 'Filling your essential buckets as an entrepreneur'.

    The 5 Buckets or as I like to call them, Pillars, in building yourself up as an effective entrepreneur.
    1) Knowledge - the more you have of it, the more opportunities will be available to you.
    2) Skills - knowledge is nothing without action.
    3) Connection - your network is your net worth.
    4) Resources - what's available to you and your cause.
    5) Reputation - this one's simpler than you thought.

    Join in on today's episode as I share tips on how to best fill these buckets, and solidify your pillars as you become the entrepreneur you're meant to be!

  • Welcome to what I think is a transformative episode of the “Get Confident" podcast. Today we're diving (pun intended) into leaps of faith.

    We'll talk about fighting that voice inside your head — that tells you to stay where you are, don’t get yourself hurt, or take the easy path. I’ll share about my own experience of doing exactly the opposite of what that voice says, leaving the "comforts" of my full-time job in order to go into my own business full-time.

    Risk was present when I jumped.

    And will be present too when you're faced with whether or not you should take your own leap of faith. I'll share how I turned those unknowns, into calculated risks, and eventually reaping the rewards on the other side. You'll also learn about how to come up with an MVP (minimum viable product) for your business, setting up your support system, and of course, finding your WHY for it all.

    Tune in now to join our journey of self-discovery and empowerment as we step boldly into the unknown with open arms and an eager heart to be great!
