A Born Entrepreneur: A Conversation with Liv Conlon - UK Young Entrepreneur Of The Year

On a Mission Podcast

This week, Ellie talks to one of the brightest talents in UK business right now, UK Young Entrepreneur Of The Year, Liv Conlon, who built a £1m brand in her teens, and who has turned "beating the odds" into a profitable reality.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Formal education doesn't suit everyone. While we can be academically gifted, the routes through education do not provide for those with a more entrepreneurial, adventurous spirit.
• When others force their aggression onto us,. we can feel as though it is due to a failing in ourselves. However, over time, we come to realise that the failing is in them. They are acting out their own insecurities.
• We cannot hope to be passionate about every area of business. There will always be tasks at which we are stronger or weaker. If you're getting into business to have fun all the time, then you need a wake-up call. You have to wear so many hats.
• When you have effectively begun to establish your personal brand, people will be attracted not to what you can do, but to your story itself - to the unique offering that you and your name provides.

BEST MOMENTS

'I was that clichè - a born entrepreneur'

'We have a responsibility to share our authentic self'

'You're not going to be passionate about every single aspect of it'

'People are working with me because of my story'
