075 Interview: Natalie Potts

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.   In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Potts, an entrepreneur who spent 19 years climbing the corporate ladder before taking the jump to go out on her own.   Today she works as a coach, mentor and strategist for business owners.    “The people who are out there creating success are the ones who are taking action.”   Having spent her entire career in the corporate world, Natalie imagined she would stay there for rest of her life. Her mindset changed after going to university where she realised the need to adapt.    Shortly after this, Natalie was supporting members of her team through coaching qualifications when she noticed they weren’t learning what they needed to. She took the steps to begin educating herself to become a coach.    In this fast paced episode, Natalie explains that when it comes to business, everything starts with personal development. Knowing yourself well, how you operate and where you choose go to for support, helps you take the steps to get to where you need to be.    As a coach for businesses, Natalie helps people to see that there isn’t a linear path to success. And when it comes to failure, she teaches business owners to view it as an opportunity to improve.    Natalie explains that confidence is an end result, the prerequisite is having the courage to take the step in furthering your knowledge and experience to become confident.     This episode will open up a new way of thinking for you when it comes to how you approach business. You may be convinced to widen your circle of support or to take a new brave step with your business.    If you enjoyed listening to Natalie, click here to find out more about her business.   If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/
