21. How to grow a side-hustle with Annette Kelly

In this episode I’m talking to Annette Kelly about how she grew Little Penny Thoughts from a side-hustle, passion project, into a business that she could leave her teaching job for. Full of wisdom and insights and with a true belief in community over competition, this is a gorgeous inspiration filled chat. We discuss: Fear of judgement online and feeling paranoid when getting started, especially when working in another job. Overanalysing your videos to camera in the early stages, and how to move on from that and show up for your audience. Noticing the difference between tuning into your gut and posting on social media only when you’re inspired, and when you are being paralysed by the fear of judgement which stops you posting what you want, or at all. Community over competition. Supporting others in the wellbeing industry, rather than trying to compete with others. ‘Doing the double’ of both jobs together. Making the transition and making the leap - how Annette knew it was the right time to jump. For episode show notes, resources and links, head to: https://vickyshilling.com/juststartnow-podcast
