Audio: Emotions and Business DO Mix

I got the awesome opportunity to do a half-hour radio show with Kelley Jones of StartYourOwnBusiness.com this week. We talked about one of the least discussed issues in entrepreneurship: emotions!

I am so fired up about letting people know that emotions are a crucial part of being in business for yourself (let alone of being human in general)! There are so many people who start a business and then get sideswiped by the unexpected emotional impact of it.

Take a listen to our discussion and please let me know what you think.

  1. I love the comment about being like Frasier. Oh, but Rachel, you are so much better! =D

    You definitely think fast on your feet. I liked how you and Kelley moved the conversation along at a great pace. Her questions were good and your answers were informative. I enjoyed listening to both of you pulling from your past experiences dealing with emotion in the business world back when you were a writing coach.

    Listening is key to any good client/professional (or otherwise) relationship. It was good to hear you touch on that. Thank you so much for sharing. Well worth the listen.

    Would love to interview you when I start up my show. I would most definitely like your take on marketing and the psychological aspects it holds — as I deal a lot with the way people view and interact with color and layout. I think we’d do a bang up job! =)

  2. Thanks, Brandi!

    Yes, Fraiser was kind of a neurotic mess. I hope I do better therapy than he did, but he’s an easy example to reference. :)

    Thanks for the offer. Definitely stop by the blog and let us all know when your own show is up and running.
