9. You Don't Want It Enough (and Other Rubbish People Tell You)

I  swapped the car for her kitchen this week, and even blow-dried my hair because this week, I've got a guest! I met Vanessa Jennings at a networking event a couple of weeks ago and honestly, I could have talked to her all day.Vanessa is a brand strategist who helps people stop sounding like everyone else. She's also a Kiwi who moved to the UK at 22, a mum, a former fashion industry lifer, and someone who took five... five — redundancies before finally saying "right, I'm doing this for myself."In this episode, we get into all of it. Why it takes us so bloody long to leave jobs we hate. The "salary handcuffs" (and how I survived on plain pasta with tuna as a weekend treat). What actually happens when you launch something and nobody buys it. Why being told "you just don't want it enough" by a coach is one of the most awful things you can hear and why it's also nonsense.We also talk about AI-generated content (Vanessa is not holding back), why trying to look professional online can completely kill your business, and how the best thing I ever did was just prat about in my kitchen making videos with no plan whatsoever.If you've ever had a bad month and immediately gone back on LinkedIn to look for a job, this one's for you.Find Vanessa: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessaeves/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-eve-jennings/Website: https://vanessaeves.com/GET IN TOUCH Message me at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram Connect with me on LinkedIn Watch this podcast on YouTube
