NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Claire Kavanagh

 

Self-employment isn't right for everyone, right now.

I quit my job twice.

The first time, wasn't the right time. I learned from my mistakes and shifted direction to gain valuable experience to set up my future self for success.

Seven years ago, I became a Customer Experience-focused Marketing Consultant, embracing the journey from boss-lady to independent entrepreneur. 

As a business mentor over the last 4 years, I have spoken to hundreds of businesses. In that time, I've discovered that without guardrails, checks, and proper execution, venturing into a Startup can put an individuals finances at risk.

I'm on a mission - I am creating assessment tools and processes for people before they leap into self-employment - so they can assess if it's right for them and if now is the right time.

And for business owners, offering insights from my practical marketing and business experience to help boost their chances of success. Through skills, financial, and market assessments.
