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.

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! =)
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.
