Ep 74: Be defined by what is in your control with Laura Bartlett

A public rejection on Dragon’s Den would be the end of many entrepreneurs’ dreams, not so Laura Bartlett. After being told to “have a reality check” she took the rejection and created something bigger and better.   As the Founder of House of Coco Magazine, now 10 years strong, she has lived through debilitating grief, separation, and bankruptcy. All these things have shaped who she is now and how she views the world.   In this episode she talks about the experience on Dragon’s Den, her relationship with money, how she coped with grief having lost her father and what it was like to go bankrupt.   “Never fall out of love with life” – Laura Bartlett   You'll hear about:   00:00 – Start 00:46 - An introduction to Laura 05:18 - Has Laura always been entrepreneurial? 10:39 - Does Laura stop and feel her emotions? 14:28 - How Laura copes with grief 19:16 - Laura's experience on Dragon's Den 23:01 - Laura's relationship with money 26:03 - Laura's thoughts on relationships 28:18 - Laura's mental health journey 35:06 - Laura on going bankrupt 40:12 - Has Laura experienced any discrimination? 45:37 - Does Laura have any regrets?   Laura’s resources:   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/laurabartlett0/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bartlettlaura/?originalSubdomain=uk House of Coco - https://houseofcoco.net/ X - https://twitter.com/laurabartlett0   My resources: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/itschrisoconnell/ X - https://twitter.com/ChrisOConnell11 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ TikTok - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ZWYrxrzzaElmpZMy5S86w Basemindset website - https://basemindset.com/
