Creating a Brilliant Business with Kerry Tottingham

Today, I’m speaking with the amazing Kerry Tottingham, founder of coaching and design-thinking practice Brilliant Thing. Kerry talks us through her journey from having a background in the arts, to working her way up in the charity sector, to finally building her own business (which she’s absolutely smashing!).

As Kerry was part of my last round of Real You Real Money (called Money Mastery at the time), we talk through the different things that she learned about her approach to money making within the course, including breakthrough moments in her perception of what she could earn, and the conditioning she’s challenged to get there. We celebrate a big milestone Kerry has reached in her money making, and look at how you can get out of the perception that money happens to you and embrace your ability to create money.

And if you want to have access the support that Kerry and I discuss in the episode, take a look at Real You Real Money! Signups for this round are open until 31 October, and if you have any questions feel free to book a call with me right here and we can chat through it!

QUOTES

KERRY: “It felt like I was giving myself some really good skills and strategies and understanding as I built things, rather than applying them to a thing I'd already built. For me, it was about thinking: I've learned this thing. What does that mean for my pricing? What does that mean for the workshops that I run? Do I offer a 60-minute session? Or a 90 minute session? And how do I make that choice?”

KERRY: “The application of ideas is a really exciting thing to think about. Cause you know, there's no new ideas. It's like there's no new art. It's all interpretation and perception and application. And I think being part of the group program, you can see people apply those ideas to an amazing vegan cake business or a beautiful wedding photography business, or a website building business, you know, anything!”

RAY: "I think it's really important not to underestimate how few of us realise it's all conditioning. It's not your fault. The idea is that money doesn't have to happen to us. We can be an active participant."
