“Small business is personal - you create something from nothing, and you do it all yourself,” Owner of Hazelclean, Emily Bedford
About this episode
What do you do when you’re stuck in your business – stuck in the chaos of getting it all done and not seemingly getting anywhere close to the lifestyle you dreamed of?
My guest today packs a lot in, and I don’t just mean with her ability to manage all the things at once with a growing family, I mean also that she shares so many powerful insights in this chat.
Emily Bedford, owner of residential and commercial cleaning service Hazelclean, is incredibly generous and open with her experience of building her business so far, we chat about:
- Following your intuition into a business and backing yourself to create the lifestyle you want to have.
- Pushing it too hard as a sole trader then stepping into the scale-up.
- All the learnings and mistakes that can come with taking on employees.
- Feeling trapped within your own business, despite your love for it.
- The role self-sabotage can play in our businesses.
- And the massive growth you can experience when you invest in your own support and education.
If you’re needing to hear from someone who has been there and is doing that, you’re in the right place.
