In this episode of ADHD and Money, Louisa Willcox welcomes Marie Piercy, a sales strategist passionate about empowering female entrepreneurs. They discuss the realities and misconceptions of entrepreneurship, especially in the online business space, and explore practical ways to achieve success while staying true to personal values. Marie shares her journey from corporate life to starting her own business to find a better balance for her family. She opens up about the challenges of burnout, setting boundaries, and building a business around her children. Together, Louisa and Marie dive into topics many entrepreneurs face but rarely discuss openly, from the pressure to "hit six figures" to defining personal success beyond monetary goals. Key Takeaways: Authenticity in Sales – Marie emphasises creating sales strategies that are aligned with one's own values, helping female entrepreneurs earn more without compromising authenticity. Defining Personal Success – Not everyone's goal is to be a millionaire. Marie and Louisa highlight that success should be based on individual values, like freedom, family time, and fulfilment, not just income. Setting Boundaries to Avoid Burnout – Marie shares her experience with burnout and the importance of setting firm boundaries and having a single, unified schedule to balance work and life effectively. Overcoming the Sales Mindset Block – Many entrepreneurs struggle with selling or feel uneasy charging for their services. Marie's advice is to approach sales as a necessary part of business growth and self-worth. Investing in the Right Support Early – Rather than trying to do everything alone, Marie advocates for investing in a mentor or the right support early in the business journey to avoid common pitfalls. Avoiding Online Fakes and Finding Real Support – Louisa and Marie caution against the misleading images of success online and stress the importance of surrounding oneself with genuine, supportive people and communities.
