#066 Scared of Raising Money? How a risk-averse Art Teacher overcame her fears, borrowed for property, replaced her salary & left her job!

On the HTRM podcast we often talk about 'big' deals and 'big' money but what if you believe a few £000 is 'big'? Does the scale, size and risk of raising money scare you? Put you off raising money? Hold you back from what you want to do? Keep you locked in a job you no longer love? If that feels like it could be you then today's episode is perfect for you.  Whatever the level of raising money you attempt, it can always feel scary - like you're risking everything and you could lose it all.  That's why we have Joanne O'Connor, a disillusioned Art teacher, on the podcast. Joanne is a great example of how to overcome those mental hurdles when you want to do something more but the fear of money and risk might be holding you back. This is a lesson(!) in trust and faith in a process that is well known and well-worn (Property). Because when you begin to doubt, worry and fret, you need something to hold on to and the process may just be what you need. Joanne talks about money she didn't know she had, asking family, borrowing money, massive learning curves and trusting in herself. It sounds easy on training courses but the reality is sometimes a lot scarier. So if you are thinking of raising money, listen in and be inspired. It may just be the nudge you need to get going.
