PODCAST FEATURE: BUSINESS BY DESIGN

In this episode of the ‘Making It Count’ podcast, Amy shares her story to entrepreneurship and how to design a business that benefits your life.

Growing up, Amy was sassy and always had an entrepreneurial dream in her heart. She even started a lemonade stand at age 6! ‘From that moment I was hooked on starting a business and just wanted to make people smile’ says Amy.

A few years into her finance and accounting career, Amy felt she had ‘arrived.’ She had a 6-figure salary but on the inside she was unfulfilled. ‘I felt like there had to be something more. I had a deep narring that just wouldn’t go away’. This led Amy to book a lunch with her mentor, who shared the regrets of her own career. ‘It was as if she was giving me a crystal ball to look into my future’ says Amy, ‘later that evening I decided that this would not be me.’ So, Amy gave herself permission to pursue the dream in her heart.

‘I am so passionate about helping women create a business which supports the life they want to live’ says Amy. Most business owners are good at the main projects but not so good at the back-end. Amy says ‘Slow down and start asking some powerful questions – not about the business, but about your life.’ The magic of business lies in the freedom and, the earlier you can be intentional about those choices the faster you will receive freedom in your life.

Amy shares her top tips for achieving freedom and flexibility in your business.
