  4. The one business book you must read

    08/29/2019

    The one business book you must read

    In this episode I do a deep dive into the one business book you MUST read, Seth Godin's, THE DIP. I highly recommend this book for 3 reasons; 1. The content is super motivating (more about this in a second) 2. It's just 76 pages long (even if you hate reading or don't have a lot of time this book is manageable) 3. It costs less than £10 Back to the content.  The book talks about how every business venture and project starts out all new and shiny and exciting, but over time gets harder and considerably less fun until it hits a total low point, the dip. I'm sure you can relate to that. The cool and super motivating bit is that the book shows us that those dips are essential if we want to become the best and succeed. The dips are part of the process of growing and developing. The key is to recognise when something is a dip you need to push through or a cul de sac you need to reverse out of. It totally rewires the way you think about and deal with challenges. It's motivating, refreshing and liberating. Honestly,  if you only read one business book it should be this one! Enjoy. Loads of indie hugs and love, Rachel xxx https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dip-extraordinary-benefits-knowing-stick/dp/0749928301/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2TNN7ZD6831G3&keywords=the+dip+seth+godin&qid=1567070926&s=gateway&sprefix=the+dip%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1

  6. How to raise money from government schemes with special guest, Myroo Skincare

    How to raise money from government schemes with special guest, Myroo Skincare

    Raising money from government initiatives with special guest Rachael Dunseath, Founder of Myroo Skincare Raising money is one of the biggest challenges indie beauty founders face. The choices can seem overwhelming and a lot of the time it’s just real hard to know where to start. In this week’s episode of Indie Beauty TV I talk with Rachael Dunseath the founder of Myroo skincare about raising money through government initiatives like grants and loans. I really love this episode because it highlights that there are ways to bring large sums of money into your business without having to look to investors. Rachael really embraced this way of raising money in the earlier stages of her brands growth, so speaks knowledgeably about options, honestly about how much work is involved and openly about the sorts of cash you can raise. (This episode was recorded roughly a year ago. The content was just too good not to share with you guys though!) https://www.myroo.co.uk/

    How to raise money from investors with special guest, ByBi Beauty

    Raising capital is a challenge for every single indie beauty brand. I interviewed the founders of ByBi Beauty shortly after they had finished their first round of investment fundraising (they have subsequently completed a second round) to find out exactly what it takes to nail investment funding. One thing I love about Dom and Elsie is their openness and honesty about their experiences as a result this interview is packed with invaluable advice and guidance for any of you investigating the possibilities for raising money. I would also recommend you go sign up for their podcast as they are always sharing their founder experiences. I love listening and always learn something. https://podcasts.apple.com/…/clean-beauty-insi…/id1445405566 I really hope you enjoy the episode. If you haven't time to watch it then head over to Anchor FM where you can download the podcast episode and listen to it while you are out and about. https://anchor.fm/rachel-whittaker Loads of indie hugs and love, Rachel xxxx

  8. How to be a healthy beautypreneur

    How to be a healthy beautypreneur

    In this episode I am joined by the amazing women's health coach Pamela Smart Windle to talk about the challenges that often face busy female entrepreneurs. We chat about how simple food choices can make such a difference when it comes to both energy and sleep. We talk about easy changes to our daily routines that can make us feel more energised and we talk different ways to reduce blue light. My biggest take away from spending time with Pamela is that things that we often accept or believe are beyond our control can be influenced and changed for the better by some of the smallest actions. It really is easy to feel better, sleep more, be more productive and function at our best. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as me. I would recommend you all follow Pamela on social and pop over to her website to download her freebies.
