Podcast 27:32 | Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
Starting out as an entrepreneur can be scary – but it’s exhilarating and rewarding too. In the first part of series of episodes about the ‘different stages of the entrepreneurial journey’, Dan and Ian revisit some advice they gave Kiri Masters who, in 2013, was still in her day job as a highly successful corporate player whilst struggling to set up a business that would give her the lifestyle and kind of satisfaction that she felt she was missing.
What advice did Dan and Ian give Kiri? Did she follow it? What's happening with her business today?
Listen to this week's show and learn:
How Kiri got the idea to start her first business making DIY lampshade kits. (5:03)
Why she decided to quit her lucrative day job to follow this dream. (7:30)

Whether she ended up taking our advice and what has happened to her business since. (14:30)
Where Kiri hopes to be two years from now. (21:47)
