Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Natasha sits down with award-winning marketer, speaker, and mindset coach Hayley Meeks. Hayley shares her fascinating journey from a job at the Inland Revenue that she hated to becoming a successful entrepreneur. She talks about the importance of finding your passion, the transition from working for others to running her own agency, and the mindset that drove her to overcome challenges and build a thriving business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Finding Your Passion: It's crucial to find a career you genuinely enjoy, as you spend a significant portion of your life working. Hayley's journey highlights the importance of trying different things to discover what you're truly passionate about.
The Power of a Strong Mindset: Your mindset can be a powerful tool for overcoming challenges. Hayley's experiences with her grandfather's influence and her personal health struggles demonstrate how a strong mindset can help you push through fear and adversity.
Marketing Essentials: Effective marketing doesn't have to be complicated. The three fundamental principles are: know your customer, know your message, and know where your customers hang out. Without these, your marketing efforts will fall flat.
Leverage Existing Relationships: It's often easier and more profitable to market to your existing customer base than to find new customers.
Embrace Technology: Tools like AI and user-friendly software have levelled the playing field, allowing individuals and small businesses to do more for themselves.
