How DOES she do it?!

Ep 57: Business growth and personal balance, with Tamsyn Jefferson

How DOES she do it?!

Show Notes

In today's episode, guest Tamsyn Jefferson, founder of Seed Accounting, shares her entrepreneurial journey and the valuable insights she's gained along the way. Tamsyn shares so much valuable and practical wisdom for small business owners, especially around financial management; she also explains why employing an accountant can be a game-changer for your business, and about her bold decision to hire staff earlier than planned—a move that proved to be the right call, despite initial hesitation.

We also delve into the personal challenges Tamsyn has overcome, as she openly discusses how she built her business whilst navigating the challenges of motherhood and going through a divorce, as well as how she balances her professional commitments with being present for her children.

I love the guiding principle that Tamsyn shares; that 'you should never look back other than to see how far you've come;' a powerful reminder for all of us to be kinder to ourselves on our entrepreneurial journeys.

So whether you're just starting out, or looking to improve your business practices, Tamsyn's practical advice and honest reflections offer invaluable guidance for the road ahead. Enjoy the show!
