The next step for your business might already be decided. Kiki Keysers founded KIVARI in 2014, and now she has 11 retail store locations across Australia. She loves her life and her business, but growing a business through the difficult seasons of life and motherhood comes with its challenges. It's often in those moments that something pivotal happens; almost as if your next step is laid before you. Kiki gives a peek behind the curtain in this episode by sharing how her business operates. She also sheds light on her entrepreneurial journey (including who she set out to prove wrong) and the biggest lessons she's learned along the way. In this episode, you will learn about: The tough part of entrepreneurship that nobody talks about. The chance encounter that brought her $10,000 in a weekend. How her business came to life one step at a time, and how to hang on when it's hard. The inspiration behind KIVARI's collections and designs. Why the photoshoots are Kiki's favorite part of the process. Why failure needs to be normalized, especially in business. Kiki's biggest mistake that she has made in her business. Where the name KIVARI comes from and Kiki's favorite piece of all time. What it means to be a wild woman: Making big, bold moves.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.
