POPULARITY
It's here....! The first ever episode of the Happy Healthy Entrepreneur Podcast. Woo hoo! My very first podcast guest this week is...Lucy Payne, who went self-employed pretty much 12 months ago at the time of recording, so it was great to reflect on her first year in business. My goodness, we talked about all sorts of topics including self-confidence, networking, imposter syndrome, business buddies, and being an introvert entrepreneur. The three words Lucy uses to describe her entrepreneurial journey so far are: enlightening, isolating, and exciting. What you'll learn by listening to this episode - Why Lucy values rewarding herself with a day off so highly, and how she is able to do so without feeling guilty. - How she responds when she is 'shoulding' all over herself. - We muse on Imposter Syndrome and just how common it is for both employed and self-employed folk. - How networking has turned out to be one of the best things Lucy has done, despite bursting into tears at her very first networking event (and how that didn't stop her from returning). - How business buddies have been the perfect antidote to self-employment isolation. - Finally, we talk about what it means to be an introvert entrepreneur, and how recognising that within herself has helped her to manage her energy levels.
