It's Kathy from Appletastic! Let's chat going from rough idea, to launch in under a year. Now, that’s what I call Business.
-
- Entrepreneurship
I am very excited to get to introduce you to Kathy from Appletastic.
Kathy actually booked a mentoring session with me about a year ago and had a few different ideas, but the common theme for them all was that she wanted to start a business that helped her community.
I have seen her weather some storms, but despite them all she has launched an incredible business and I reckon her story is a great peek at what it can be like to launch, get mentoring and follow your passion.
In this episode Kathy shares:
- Her early career in film, television and animation
- The other ideas she pitched to Brianne
- How her sons health led to her creation of Appletastic
- Her experience being diagnosed with ADHD
- What Appletastic is
- The pivot she has had to make in explaining her business
- What made her feel like giving up
- How she started having me as a mentor
- Her experience with pricing and doing things wholesale
- The struggles she has had with supply chain
- How and why she handles her socials
- Her #1 tip for someone trying to start a mission led business
Key Quotes
“Start doing research about how long are you in for this and are you up for it.”
“If you want to do something, you need to start to surround yourself with the people that know how to do it.”
