The Marketing for the Uninhibited Podcast

On the fourth and final interview in the maternity leave series, Chelsie Kliese, client and friend, finally joins Miranda for a candid peek behind the scenes of how she decided when to quit her full-time job to go full-time in her business, and what her first year full-time in the biz was really like.
Going full-time in your business is an often romanticized notion, but in this conversation, Chelsie shares the good, the bad, the ugly and the unexpected.
In this episode, they discuss:
Why tracking AND analyzing your numbers is so critical
The “how” behind deciding to go full-time in her business after just a couple of years
The sacrifices entrepreneurs and those closest to them make, especially in the beginning
Learning to accept that failure and mistakes are part of the process
Pivoting when things don’t go as planned
Chelsie Kliese started House of Ivy just over three years ago as an online home decor shop. Shortly after opening, she introduced her handmade concrete goods before pivoting to a fully handmade shop about a year and a half later. She took her business full time in April of 2023 and has been learning so much along the entire adventure of being an entrepreneur! She sells her handmade goods through her online retail shop, through her wholesale program and at in-person events.

Thursday Nov 16, 2023
Thursday Nov 16, 2023
In this episode, Miranda is discussing how to make the choice you want with conviction.
Change, pivots, and ups and downs are a part of running and growing your small business, but just because you wanted this business, doesn't mean navigating those things is always easy.
Sometimes, you get what you want and you decide that it isn’t what you wanted after all and that’s okay, too!
This episode is for you if:
You've ever struggled with indecision
You have a hard time standing behind what you want because it seems like there's no real *need* for the want - if ain't broke why fix it? Because you CAN!
You need a little extra nudge to go after what you want and let go of what you don't want - without explanation or excuses
You struggle with other people's opinions when you make a choice they don't like
You've let so many other voices in the decision making process that you've lost track of your own
If you've been listening for awhile and you're ready to take the next step, 4th Quarter offers are open now! Treat yourself to a little support + strategy this holiday season! To learn more, click here.
