They’d focused their attention on trying to make the business work well again but had forgotten to also focus on their

Working for yourself for the first time can seem like a scary step. You go from the safety of a regular pay check to the uncertainty of not knowing where the next job might come from. But some us aren’t built for the 9 to 5 and we crave the autonomy and freedom of being our own boss and so we accept the uncertainty and take control of how we work. In this conversation with freelance copywriter William Lyth I hear about his journey from employee to self-employed. He shares that while switching

Progress not perfection with Veronica Fossa

2020/08/19

When setting out on the journey of building a totally new business it’s important to focus on making progress rather than seeking perfection. You’re a pioneer doing something that hasn’t been done before and so there’s no set template for success. You’re on a voyage of discovery that can take you down many dead ends. Luckily we have tools to help us explore what works such as design thinking, customer development and the Lean Startup. These tools help us discover the problems worth solving and

It's perfectly possible to be shy, quiet, or introverted and get on in the world.

While it wasn't plain sailing closing Spook Studio was a lot less traumatic experience than what many other founders have had to go through. In this episode of the podcast, we’re
