31

:

Let's dive in.

32

:

Tracey, thank you so much for

joining me on the show today.

33

:

How are you?

34

:

Tracey Sundkvist: I am living the dream.

35

:

Tori, how about you?

36

:

Tori Barker: I'm doing great.

37

:

So I'm excited to have you on the show

today to tell us a little bit about

38

:

what you do, how you help entrepreneurs,

and how we can talk about visibility.

39

:

So tell us a little bit

about, uh, what you do.

40

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Absolutely.

41

:

Uh, I've, so for the past, say two

decades, I've really been focused on

42

:

identifying talent, developing talent,

and then really shifting into the

43

:

entrepreneurial landscape so that I can

help business owners grow their business.

44

:

And one of the.

45

:

Biggest things that I've learned

is that if you really want to grow,

46

:

it's always going to start with you.

47

:

It's going to start with the thinking,

the mindset, and the skills that

48

:

you take into your business that's

either going to promote your,

49

:

your growth or get in the way.

50

:

So as much as we're going to be focusing

on the business itself to look at the

51

:

systems and the processes that you have

in place, what we're going to do that

52

:

is more powerful is to make sure that

you are not getting in your own way.

53

:

Tori Barker: Yeah, absolutely.

54

:

So let's talk about, um, so

mindsets, mind, mindset blocks.

55

:

Um, what are some of the most

common mindset blocks that keep

56

:

women entrepreneurs specifically

from putting themselves out there,

57

:

and how do they overcome it?

58

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Oh, it was such

a wonderful question because every,

59

:

every person comes with a unique

set of challenges depending on kind

60

:

of what they bring to the party we,

we brought up in different ways.

61

:

We have different attachment styles,

and depending on that, that can

62

:

really impact on how you approach

creating value in the business.

63

:

Probably the two biggest ones that I

see, the first is really the pressure of.

64

:

Performing as a woman.

65

:

So, you know, as soon as you're

a female, uh, it's, it's just

66

:

unconscious that dealing with, um,

you know, uh, male stakeholders, they

67

:

don't have as high expectations as

they would in dealing with a man.

68

:

So, so the thing is, how do you.

69

:

Keep your ego intact and show up as this,

you know, this confident person who knows

70

:

what they're doing without kind of being

bashed because of that, uh, I wanna say

71

:

inequality, but that's probably too.

72

:

Too harsh.

73

:

The, the second thing I, it

probably relates to that as well,

74

:

is charging what you're worth.

75

:

So creating the value and then

being able to back it up and

76

:

say, I'm worth every cent.

77

:

Like, I'm the most impor, I'm the

most expensive in my industry.

78

:

Let me tell you about the results I get.

79

:

Right.

80

:

It's, it's, it's showing up in that way.

81

:

And we need to leave the

nurturing, caring, you know, um,

82

:

family boulder, um, side of us.

83

:

Parked a little bit so that we can show up

more assertive in, in the business world.

84

:

Tori Barker: Yeah, and I think to

that point, you know, especially women

85

:

entrepreneurs just starting out or

just starting an entrepreneurial space,

86

:

like many women come from corporate

and then they have years and decades of

87

:

experience and knowledge and expertise,

and then they start in entrepreneurship.

88

:

They don't, it's a different

beast, if you will.

89

:

And so, you know, knowing their

value, uh, charging their value.

90

:

And showing up with confidence

are the biggest things that

91

:

I think are our roadblocks.

92

:

Like you said, um, because it's uncharted

territory or we want to, you know,

93

:

just, just start, get it started, right?

94

:

Like, we just need the business or those

types of things that we have in our

95

:

mind that we think, oh, well, I'll, I'll

charge more when I get, you know, further

96

:

along in my entrepreneurial journey.

97

:

But it's like, heck no,

start out big, right?

98

:

You have this sage, this experience, and

it applies like straight across the board.

99

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Yeah, there's such a

big learning curve for women who leave

100

:

the corporate space and start their

own business, and you absolutely nailed

101

:

it in that it's a different beast.

102

:

You can be, you can be exceptional in the

marketing world or the finance world, or

103

:

you know, have those skills and expertise,

but when it comes to running a business,

104

:

there are a whole lot of elements that

you need to add to your expertise.

105

:

So that learning curve is.

106

:

Very, very steep for people who've

specialized on a specific skillset.

107

:

If anything, what I would say to

arm yourself against that is embrace

108

:

the learning and get comfortable

being very uncomfortable, right?

109

:

We need to do things even though

it hurts like cake, because that's

110

:

the way you're going to learn.

111

:

It's just put yourself in there, you know?

112

:

Tori Barker: Yeah.

113

:

Well, and, and kind of along the same

lines, one of the questions I wanted

114

:

to, to ask you about is how we can

become the best versions of ourself

115

:

to lean into that growth and success.

116

:

What are the things that you,

you coach on help, uh, with, or

117

:

talk or speak to on that topic?

118

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Yep.

119

:

I, I love the coaching space because

if a client comes into me and they're

120

:

focused on left, then I know as a

coach I need to start introducing.

121

:

Right.

122

:

If they come to me and they focusing

on up as a coach, I know I need to, you

123

:

know, create a little bit more balance and

focus on, you know, the, the, the bottom.

124

:

So coaching is about.

125

:

Um, kind of closing gaps.

126

:

If you are thinking one way, all that

coaching does is it introduces different

127

:

perspectives and ways of thinking

that allow you a, a bigger picture

128

:

of what you're doing and impact that.

129

:

That you're having with your approach?

130

:

Yeah.

131

:

Everyone is gonna come with

their own sets of, um, strengths

132

:

and own sets of weaknesses.

133

:

And really the coach's job is

just to be the sounding board.

134

:

So if you come and you say, well,

um, I'm a wonderful leader, but

135

:

none of my team members wanna stick

around, then it's the coach's role

136

:

to say, okay, so, so, you know.

137

:

Tell me what evidence

is supporting a leader?

138

:

What do you think a leader is?

139

:

What do you think the consequences are?

140

:

If you, you suck at leader, you know,

it's about helping them understand

141

:

and how this is going to connect to

becoming the best version of yourself.

142

:

You can only become the best version of

yourself if you are open to some ideas

143

:

that are going to probably conflict.

144

:

Uh, pretty radically with, you know,

the way you feel the, the world works.

145

:

So if you are open to, um, to, uh,

what is it, um, a accommodate or

146

:

assimilate these, uh, opposing views,

you are going to accelerate that

147

:

best version of yourself, right?

148

:

Yeah.

149

:

As long as you stay curious and

as long as you learn, you're

150

:

gonna shortcut that journey.

151

:

Tori Barker: Yeah.

152

:

And one of the things I know for,

for women specifically is we have a

153

:

hard time, um, or we don't, I guess

I would say we have a hard time

154

:

compartmentalizing personal life and

business life, and there's conversations

155

:

that a lot of people have about keeping

things separate or blending them.

156

:

Right.

157

:

And I, my perspective, I think that.

158

:

You should definitely blend them, right?

159

:

So as an entrepreneur, because your

personal life affects your business and

160

:

your business affects your personal life.

161

:

So I know that you blend, um,

personal development with business

162

:

coaching, and I'm assuming some

personal side of things as well.

163

:

So why is self-awareness so essential

in being visible and credible, uh,

164

:

and consistent for brand growth?

165

:

Tracey Sundkvist: So much of this depends

on what you're bringing to the table.

166

:

I mean, if you are, if you are starting

out and you starting from scratch and

167

:

you need to very quickly get to the

point where you're making money, I.

168

:

Because your family depends on you.

169

:

I, I can't very well go out and say,

well, let's look at making sure that you

170

:

are balanced, that you're balancing your

work and, and, and your, um, home life.

171

:

Because the ultimate goal is

to provide for your family.

172

:

And that means in the beginning,

you're going to be working long hours.

173

:

Now, are you going to be able to.

174

:

Pay the price that it's going to cost

you to achieve the results that you

175

:

want, which, you know, are gonna give

you those long-term, you know, achieve

176

:

your long-term goals at the same time.

177

:

I mean, you know, the, the

opposite is true as well.

178

:

If, if somebody, um, comes to

me and they say, well, they

179

:

wanna make, they wanna make.

180

:

A lot of money.

181

:

They wanna make very healthy profits, but

they only wanna work three days a week.

182

:

And you kind of need to say, well,

listen, there's, there's a little bit

183

:

of conflict here because for you to

succeed in business, that the business

184

:

needs a lot of time, attention, and.

185

:

Effort and energy.

186

:

Now, I'm not gonna say go and be

a real estate in investor and, you

187

:

know, learn how to make passive income

because that's not a wheelhouse.

188

:

My wheel, uh, house is how

to run a healthy business.

189

:

In the beginning.

190

:

It's more than likely that you have

to put more effort in than less.

191

:

But then you have the opposite as

well, where, where women are literally

192

:

working like 60, 65 hours and the, the

business might be super successful,

193

:

but they're burning out and they're

just not recharging what they need

194

:

to sustain that level of activity.

195

:

And it's having, you know,

very serious, negative.

196

:

Impact on home life, on their health.

197

:

So it, it really, it boils down to

instead of, instead of saying, well,

198

:

this is kind of what we're all aiming

for, it's what is the long-term goal?

199

:

What is the short-term payoff?

200

:

And how can we make sure that we're

able to achieve, you know, what it,

201

:

what it is that you need to achieve.

202

:

Tori Barker: And I think

also, um, there's seasons too.

203

:

So like you said, I think there's

seasons of like, when you're starting

204

:

out, you have to put more attention into

your business and the growth of your

205

:

business, but you can't neglect yourself.

206

:

Right?

207

:

But there's still this balance

that you have to adjust over time

208

:

and throughout these seasons.

209

:

Of life and business growth and

family and all that stuff that,

210

:

you know, you have to be aware of.

211

:

So yes, I may put a little bit more

time and focus on the business, you

212

:

know, at the beginning, but then I

know I'm gonna get to a point where I

213

:

can balance it out a little bit more.

214

:

And then maybe my family needs me

and I spent, but more time and my

215

:

family, but my business is solid, so

I'm sure you see a lot of that too.

216

:

Tracey Sundkvist: It's,

that's one of the key.

217

:

Um, ways in which we're going to measure

that any intervention is successful is

218

:

that the individual's business can run

without them for a week, for two weeks

219

:

because there are checks and balances.

220

:

There's a standard operating procedures,

there's process for everyone.

221

:

Everyone knows what's expected of them.

222

:

And they all want to see

the success of the business.

223

:

So even though you might start

out saying, this is gonna

224

:

take time, effort, and energy.

225

:

There's blood, there's

sweat, there's tears.

226

:

It is working toward that as an outcome.

227

:

Tori Barker: Yeah.

228

:

Now as.

229

:

Um, I wanna talk a little bit about

the mind and body connection too.

230

:

Mm-hmm.

231

:

Because I know that, you know, you, you

mentioned it briefly about burnout, right?

232

:

So how can we avoid burnout while

we're in that season of growth and

233

:

grind or whatever that might be?

234

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Yeah.

235

:

Now I think burnout, burnout is

a consequence or is very closely

236

:

linked with overworking, but.

237

:

I kind of look at it in a different

way because if what you are

238

:

doing doesn't interest you, it's

repetitive, someone else should do it.

239

:

You are not seeing the value of what

you're doing, and it's that same story

240

:

that you're living every single day.

241

:

If, if what you're doing is

not important to you, you're

242

:

much more likely to burn out.

243

:

And this is why it's so important

when you go into business, it's about

244

:

understanding why is this important to me?

245

:

What, what difference it.

246

:

Do I want to make in this

business world that is meaningful?

247

:

Like it means something

to me as a human being.

248

:

Now, in the beginning,

it can be about money.

249

:

There's nothing wrong with you going

into business saying, well, I need

250

:

this business to support my lifestyle.

251

:

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

252

:

The business, um, the, the, what

a business needs from you is

253

:

to say, okay, well, if that is.

254

:

What you want in return for

doing business, how are you

255

:

going to add enough value so that

you're going to get that return?

256

:

Because it's a value exchange, right?

257

:

I, I create value and I'm

compensated for that value.

258

:

So the closer you can get to aligning

the value in the business with your

259

:

personal values, with personal meaning,

the less likely you you are to burn out.

260

:

I mean, once someone is.

261

:

Burned out, you know, rekindling

that enthusiasm for life, for work,

262

:

for family, for just being alive.

263

:

It's almost like a complete

reprogramming that needs to happen

264

:

because it's, um, it's terrible.

265

:

It really creeps in over a

very long period of time.

266

:

And that, that, um, becomes

almost like learned behavior.

267

:

So that almost becomes your default.

268

:

It's not that you stay in

this outside terrible way of

269

:

living, it becomes part of you.

270

:

And to, to overcome that, you need

to, um, you really need to take

271

:

stock and say, well, I need to get

things that are meaningful back.

272

:

You know, I need to get my

feet back on the ground.

273

:

I need to get my head in the game.

274

:

I need to understand who I am,

what I want, and make changes.

275

:

Tori Barker: Absolutely.

276

:

You know, uh, it's funny, I was

thinking about a conversation I

277

:

had with my son last night and he

was talking about work, and, uh, he

278

:

said, do you, do you enjoy your work?

279

:

And I said, yeah, I love what I do.

280

:

And he's like, yeah, you get

to do some exciting things.

281

:

You get to travel and you get to

talk to different people and you

282

:

get to, you know, be creative.

283

:

And, and he's like, I wanna make

sure that I do something like that.

284

:

And I was just like, Ugh.

285

:

Like, that's like the best thing, right?

286

:

To know that your, your children

see that you are passionate about

287

:

something that you do, because

that's all that I can hope for them.

288

:

And so it's this like the same thing,

like you, you're gonna avoid burnout.

289

:

I mean, there's gonna be, you know,

challenging times, but you're gonna

290

:

avoid burnout if you're passionate

and you have, you know, something that

291

:

you enjoy that you're doing every day.

292

:

Tracey Sundkvist: You know, it's so

important when you bring, um, when

293

:

you start introducing kids, right?

294

:

And I, I say kids, but these

can be like older kids as well.

295

:

Being the role model to

say that work isn't, isn't.

296

:

That evil place where you go that

keeps your paycheck work is actually

297

:

a really fun and exciting way for you

to express your indivi individuality,

298

:

for you to hone and strengthen

skills that are unique in the space.

299

:

It's about, uh, learning how to solve.

300

:

Problems and pushing yourself

beyond your, your boundaries and

301

:

your limits and learning just

exactly what you're capable of.

302

:

How you look at work determines how

you're going to approach this whole thing.

303

:

If you really just think, I have

to work because I need to pay my

304

:

bills, I can guarantee you are

not going to enjoy what you do.

305

:

Mindset matters.

306

:

Tori Barker: Yes.

307

:

So, um, I wanna ask you another

question that, you know, I think you.

308

:

You potentially answer this often, but I

wanna tie it back to visibility because,

309

:

um, I want to know like, what are five

cardinal sins for entrepreneurs and how

310

:

do they sabotage visibility and growth?

311

:

How those sense sabotage,

visibility and growth.

312

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Wonderful.

313

:

So there, there are the very

typical mistakes that entrepreneurs

314

:

make right out the gate.

315

:

Uh, one of, one of the first things is

they don't actually align their business

316

:

vision with, with their own goals.

317

:

So they, they kind of go

into it just understanding

318

:

in the short term, I need to.

319

:

Make this work so that I can pay

myself and I can make enough to live.

320

:

But without knowing what you're

aiming for, it's very, very difficult

321

:

to track your progress toward that.

322

:

So super, super important to have

a vision, and I mean, that vision

323

:

needs to excite you as well.

324

:

If the vision doesn't excite

you, it means that you are.

325

:

You're doing it wrong, because that's

the whole point is to say, getting

326

:

up, damn, I'm one, I'm one day closer

to, you know, making this come true.

327

:

So it's gotta be exciting.

328

:

Um, I've already mentioned the tracking.

329

:

Now when it comes to business

owners, they are notoriously bad

330

:

at tracking the right things.

331

:

And this means looking at the numbers.

332

:

Your finance, your finances.

333

:

Yeah.

334

:

Instead of running your business from your

bank account, it's, it's understanding

335

:

this is how much is coming in, this is how

much is keep, you know, keeps going out.

336

:

This is the margin that is healthy

for the space that I'm playing

337

:

in, and I need to make sure that

I maintain or improve on this.

338

:

So tracking it and actively

doing something about it.

339

:

So that's, that's a big one.

340

:

Now, connecting this to visibility,

um, I think it's so important for

341

:

business owners to understand.

342

:

They're, uh, how are they going

to get in front of the people

343

:

who need what they have to offer?

344

:

Are they going to do Facebook advertising,

Google advertising, referrals,

345

:

um, you know, um, um, advertising

magazines, you know, um, hand up

346

:

pamphlets at your, your traffic lights.

347

:

It's all about understanding what are

the different ways that people are going

348

:

to get to know about me so that I can

have enough people in my pipeline and

349

:

get enough people through my pipeline

so that I can hit my, my revenue

350

:

goals, what they end up not doing.

351

:

Is tracking, how well

is that working for me?

352

:

So they might be running Facebook

ads, but they have no idea what

353

:

their return on ad spend is.

354

:

They might be running Facebook ads,

but they have no idea how to make sure

355

:

that the processes that they have are

going to support getting those people

356

:

to say yes from interest to yes.

357

:

All of this means you need to

be able to look at numbers and

358

:

understand what is that telling me?

359

:

You know, numbers don't lie.

360

:

They're always going

to tell you the truth.

361

:

So learning the language of numbers

is going to be your best friend

362

:

if you want to take out a whole

lot of, um, learning the hard way.

363

:

Right?

364

:

We, we don't want to learn the hard way.

365

:

That's, that's, um, that's just no good.

366

:

No, uh, I think.

367

:

Um, so if we just move along with

the, the other cardinal sense, uh,

368

:

another big one is it's isolation.

369

:

So you are running your own business.

370

:

You are making all of the calls,

you make all of the decisions.

371

:

You live in this bubble of

creating something from nothing.

372

:

And the risk is that you create,

you create something that is,

373

:

um, kind of to the left or the.

374

:

Or the right of actual reality and

the way the world works, but because

375

:

there's no one to check you, because

there's no one to say, but wait a

376

:

second, you know, what if it, it's

very easy to go off track and not even

377

:

realize that, that you're doing it.

378

:

So having a support networks, um,

being able to have a mentor and I.

379

:

It's, it's so blase, right?

380

:

It's so, have a mentor, but I mean, it,

it doesn't need to be a difficult thing.

381

:

It's so easy for you to identify

people even on LinkedIn, right?

382

:

If you, if you see, well,

who else is in this industry?

383

:

Who else is doing very well in

terms of how visible are they?

384

:

Are they, where do I see them?

385

:

Um, how do people talk about

them in, in the industry?

386

:

Reach out and say, well,

listen, I, I, I new at this.

387

:

I could really use someone to

walk me through the tough stuff.

388

:

You know?

389

:

Would you mind showing up?

390

:

Like, do you know how, um, um,

um, what a big ego boost that is?

391

:

Yeah.

392

:

Or people, right?

393

:

Generally, people want to help

other business owners have no

394

:

problem helping, helping people who

also want to achieve success, so.

395

:

Stop that ego thing, right?

396

:

The, the ego has no place

in, in growing a business.

397

:

You need to keep that,

um, in check and then.

398

:

I mean, we've spoken a little bit

about this, but uh, I have to bring

399

:

it in, in that you, you can't be

serious as a heart attack all the time.

400

:

Now I'm fully, for in the beginning

you have to work very long hours and

401

:

growing a business is very serious.

402

:

But if you are going to allow this to

put you in a bad mood and kind of ruin.

403

:

Your excitement or your, your enthusiasm.

404

:

If it's gonna give you a kind of

a bad taste in your mouth, you're

405

:

not gonna really want to interact

with anybody, then it's time to

406

:

have a little bit of a reality check

and understand this doesn't stop.

407

:

So the only way forward is you're either

going to, to have to, I don't know, have

408

:

a mental check-in and see, okay, well

how do I need to shift this so that.

409

:

I don't, you know, my

business doesn't depress me.

410

:

My business doesn't actually just

become another job, or the way that I

411

:

really like to do that is through humor.

412

:

I think humor is an incredible tool and

I think sometimes when we are emotionally

413

:

triggered by customers that are being

just absolutely ridiculous or problems

414

:

in the team that you just can't believe

that this, this issue keeps happening.

415

:

It's really helpful to put that.

416

:

Um, into almost like a cartoon.

417

:

So, so play it out.

418

:

If this was a, an episode of Mr.

419

:

Bean or if this was like a, a stupid

kid's cartoon, how could this be the

420

:

most ridiculous thing so that you

can start to get some perspective?

421

:

Right?

422

:

This, it, it shouldn't feel like a

heart attack all the time, right?

423

:

It's okay to have fun.

424

:

In fact, you're probably going to get

more out of your business if you can.

425

:

Just chill a little bit.

426

:

Right?

427

:

Tori Barker: Thank you for

some of the part times.

428

:

Yeah.

429

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Science supports it.

430

:

When you are in threat mode, you don't

think as creatively, you don't innovate.

431

:

Your problem solving becomes probably just

as effective as a drunk person, so making

432

:

sure that you're in a good mental space.

433

:

Does allow you to perform better.

434

:

Tori Barker: Yeah.

435

:

That's awesome.

436

:

So, um, I wanna wrap this

up with one final question.

437

:

So, if someone listening feels stuck or

invisible in their business right now,

438

:

what's one step you'd recommend that they

take to start showing up more powerfully?

439

:

Wow.

440

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Um, the problem

with being invisible is that the

441

:

solution sounds like it should be.

442

:

How can I be visible?

443

:

Right.

444

:

I mean it's, it's like one plus one equals

two, but I think before you can show up

445

:

as being visible, you need to understand

if I have an awareness that this is

446

:

going on for me, if I feel like I'm

invisible, what is the opposite of that?

447

:

Um, what is going to tell

me that I am visible?

448

:

And, and for you to have actual

quantifiable criteria, not just,

449

:

I am going to feel, because how

can you, how can you qualify that?

450

:

That means if it's a good day, you're

gonna feel like, yes, I was great.

451

:

And if it was bad day, you're gonna

feel like, no, that that sucked.

452

:

And you have to be objective.

453

:

So if you are feeling like you're

not visible, ask yourself, what do

454

:

I actually want this to look like?

455

:

Does it mean that I want

more people to know about me?

456

:

And if I want more people to know

about me, how am I getting out

457

:

there right now and what do I need

to add to that so that more people

458

:

can see me and interact with me?

459

:

Um, if I want more people to

know about me, is the message

460

:

that I'm putting out there.

461

:

Compelling enough?

462

:

Like, do, do I need to

improve my messaging?

463

:

So do I need to be more visible in

more places, or do I need to start

464

:

tailoring what I'm saying, what I'm

communicating in these places so

465

:

that people, uh, connect with it?

466

:

Right?

467

:

If you feel invisible, you need

to be very careful that you're not

468

:

behaving from a, I'm not important, I'm

just, I'm just, I'm, I'm not worthy.

469

:

I'm not valuable.

470

:

In fact, I'm so, I have such low

self-esteem that I feel like I

471

:

just, uh, you know, no one sees me.

472

:

You have to stop that.

473

:

You absolutely have to stop that.

474

:

You need to fake it till you make it.

475

:

You need to understand this is

what makes me very powerful and

476

:

that is how I need to communicate.

477

:

That is how I need to show up.

478

:

Tori Barker: That's fantastic.

479

:

Fantastic advice.

480

:

Thank you.

481

:

So how could people get in touch with

you if they wanna learn more about

482

:

what you do wanna work with you?

483

:

Um, how can people, how

can people reach out?

484

:

Tracey Sundkvist: So I have a

link for you that is going to take

485

:

you to a direct booking with me.

486

:

So I'm offering all the listeners

a 30 minute, uh, chaos to clarity

487

:

session where we can kind of, if you

think of the mind as kind of this

488

:

wrapped up, um, piece of wall to.

489

:

A nice, you know, um, organized structure.

490

:

It's just really an intensive session to

help you detangle what's going on for you.

491

:

So if you're stuck and you just

need a little bit of perspective or

492

:

insight into how can I get unstuck?

493

:

What is the next step for me?

494

:

Then this is gonna be the.

495

:

This is gonna be good for you.

496

:

From there, I can also direct you to other

support that, um, BrandLab Media has and

497

:

of that is a free online mastermind that

gives you all of the elements that you

498

:

need to build out a healthy marketing

strategy to know what it is that you need

499

:

to be tracking to build, um, Facebook

ads that are going to compel your best.

500

:

Um, customer to be interested and to

respond and then to understand the, the

501

:

business, um, phases so that you know

what problems you should be solving at

502

:

the right phase of business so that you

can, um, build the skills that you need

503

:

to be able to prepare for that next phase.

504

:

Tori Barker: Perfect.

505

:

And we'll put a link to that

in the description below so you

506

:

guys can all check that out.

507

:

And then I'm assuming probably,

uh, LinkedIn is a good platform

508

:

to, to connect with you as well.

509

:

Tracey Sundkvist: Absolutely.

510

:

And luckily enough, um, my

surname is so absolutely bizarre

511

:

that I, it's not hard to find.

512

:

It's very, there's only one of me.

513

:

There's not like 20.

514

:

Tori Barker: Love that.

515

:

Well, Tracey, thank you again
