Making money in your business doesn’t have to be hard, and this episode will share insights into the mindset of trusting our ability to make bank. 

We left off Part 1 of this epic chat with Brook McCarthy hearing about prioritisation, why it’s ok to figure it all out as you go and what we take into business from other roles – but this part is all about money – clearly one of the most important topics not to shy away from in business.

In Part 2 of this chat, you’ll hear about:


How to reframe selling what you do to a client for the benefit of your bank balance
How to not over-complicate making money
Reframing the Australian tall poppy syndrome
And the radical potential you have within self-employment.

If you missed Part 1, make sure to give it a listen on the show feed.

If you’ve never felt slightly envious of another person’s success, this episode isn’t for you. If you have, you’re in good company, so how can we reflect on envy and use it as a tool for reflection, and progress? 

In this episode your host Kim Kerton shares a personal story about a recent experience of joyful jealousy, how it almost derailed her business-goals, and some helpful ways to get you back on track if you’re ever stuck in a comparison trap.
