I Made a Thing

Business


AgeismWhat impact does age have for small business owners and women in business? Can you use your age as an advantage?Should you keep your age a secret?“I think you need to be prepared to leave situations and let go of clients who don't respect your age, your processes and your way of doing things.” - Rachel KurzypTopics discussed in this episode: What is the difference between age, experience and wisdom? How relevant is age? Do you need to have 10 years of experience before you are entitled to start a business? What about a family? Living overseas? How do you deal when someone asks, “how old are you?” Should you make yourself seem older? Or broadcast your age on your business platforms? Can you use your age to your advantage? “I did have some concerns about people looking at that photo and saying ‘oh a young female she can’t know anything so I won’t work with her’ but that hasn’t been my experience because my ideal client isn't a d!ck. ” - Sophia ColquhounHelp like-minded people find usIf you love what you’re hearing on i made a thing pod, please take just a few seconds to leave a rating and / or comment.
