Do It Scared! Starting and Growing a Business. Uncut with Brittney Saunders

Today we’re welcoming back a guest who is one of the most impressive young female entrepreneurs in Australian business—Brittney Saunders. You might know her from YouTube, from her massive social media following, from her brand Fayt the Label, her cafés or her podcasts. She’s now also the author of a brand-new book Just Getting Started—an unfiltered look at the wild ride of building businesses from the ground up, making big mistakes and staying true to your vision.

We’ve had the pleasure of having Britt on the podcast before (May 2023) for an episode titled Building the biz from the basement up. In that episode we spoke about:
-being one of the OG influencers who leveraged her platform to create multiple extremely successful businesses
-fat phobia in the fashion industry and size inclusivity being a smart business decision and
-the businesses that Britt started before the ones that were successful!

Today we wanted to focus on the mindset you need to have a successful business and some of the lessons she has learnt more recently as her businesses continue to grow!

We spoke about:

• Why Britt wrote a book and the process of becoming an author
• The many hats that business creators wear and how to hand those jobs away
• How Britt structures the management of her business
• Why Brittney didn’t put her name into her business
• The costly mistakes Britt made early on in business
• Pushing against expectations and judgement
• Working so closely with her partner AJ
• Hiring decisions
• Why money shouldn’t be the main motivator for starting a business
• Staffing being the hardest part of running a business
