Summary

Welcome back to our special Motherkind Mini Work Series This week’s episode is the inspiration episode - what this woman has achieved is actually mind-blowing: from being a single mother with a 1 and 3-year-old, to starting a business on a flight home from a disastrous holiday, to then selling that business for £53 million 5 years later. Debbie, by her own admission, is an outlier, but that’s not the point - what I took from this episode is the power of belief, the confidence in doing things on your own, being honest with yourself about the level of support + help you need and the power of starting. In this episode, you are going to learn what holds most women back from starting a business, why it’s the people you surround yourself with that make the biggest difference and how to just get started on your idea Click Here to order your copy of 'Motherkind: A New Way to Thrive in a World of Endless Expectations’ Motherkind is sponsored by Wild Nutrition, the brand raising the bar for women’s supplements.
