Full Episode
Most people believe fear is a sign you're doing something bad. It means it's a red flag. If I was supposed to do this, it would be easy. I wouldn't be scared. But I would say the opposite is true. Fear isn't a sign you're doing something bad. I think it's a sign you're doing something bold.
Top leaders. Meaningful conversation. Actionable advice. Bulldoze complacency. Ignite inspiration. Create impact. Produced by Southwestern Family of Companies. This is the Action Catalyst.
Facing your entrepreneurial fear. That's what we're talking about on the show today. We have Christy Wright on the show to talk about overcoming that fear of starting something new. And so we're just excited to have her talk about starting a business or any endeavor. Christy, welcome to the show.
Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it.
This book, so Business Boutique, it's called Why Targeted at Women Directly.
That's a great question. And it's interesting because I was raised by an entrepreneur. So my mom started a business when I was 6 months old to raise and support me. So I was literally raised in the business at times. We would go there at 2 and 3 in the morning for her to bake early. And so I have countless memories of this cake shop. And it really is the backdrop to my childhood.
And so I have memories of her pulling me out of bed and going to the bakery to bake. And I'd go to... She'd actually make me a bed on her big, huge bags of powdered sugar and flour. And I'd go back to sleep. When it was time to go to school, I'd go to school with the smell of flour in my hair.
And I would always get money out of the cash drawer, which it's no surprise that her bookkeeper hated me because cash never balanced. But I was a typical child of an entrepreneur. I was always there. And that was really my first introduction to business. And from there, I pursued a degree in business in college and then started my own side businesses throughout my career.
I've always been a go-getter and a doer and a mover and a shaker. And so I would have my career working for nonprofit, but I had these side hustles, these side gigs. And what I've noticed is now we really live in a side gig economy. where there are over a million Americans working as freelancers or independent workers. So many people have these little side jobs or side hustles.
