dayjobandbusiness

This week I am so excited to be able to share my first guest interview on the podcast.

I’ve been talking to Kayleigh Priest who sells beautiful artwork and wall prints through her business Kayleigh Marie Designs.

It was so lovely to talk to Kayleigh and to find out a little bit about her business. We talked about:

• how she started her business alongside her 9-5 office job
• how she had to pivot during the pandemic when she was put on furlough
• how she left her day job during the pandemic
• and also about how mindset is the key to everything!

She shares her biggest business and mindset tips with us, and if you’re thinking about starting a business and need some inspiration then you definitely need to hear this conversation.
