Why Networking Feels So Awkward:

What Are You Waiting For?

In this episode of the My Bump to Baby Business Podcast, I'm talking about something that every business owner faces at some point: stepping outside of your comfort zone. We often hear people say, "Get out of your comfort zone," but what does that actually look like when you're running a business? For most of us, it's not jumping out of a plane. It's launching the course you've been putting off, raising your prices, showing up on social media, sending the email, speaking at an event, or finally taking action on the idea that's been sitting in your notebook for months. In this honest and personal episode, I share: ✨ How years of being labelled "dizzy Carla" affected my confidence as a business owner ✨ The impact of corporate conditioning, people-pleasing and imposter syndrome ✨ Why confidence doesn't come before action—it comes because of action ✨ The fears I've faced while launching my membership, growing My Bump to Baby and planning my first live event ✨ How childhood beliefs, money mindset and past experiences can keep us playing small ✨ Why your comfort zone may be costing you more than you realise If you've been waiting until you feel more confident, more qualified or more ready, this episode is for you. Because the truth is, there will never be a perfect time. The question isn't whether you're ready. The question is: Will you regret taking the risk, or will you regret not taking it? 📍Join the waitlist for Carla's upcoming business event: https://business.mybump2baby.com/widget/form/AP149Rj3RV8Ikjg4UmBZ [https://business.mybump2baby.com/widget/form/AP149Rj3RV8Ikjg4UmBZ] 📍Explore The Playground Membership: https://sites.mybump2baby.com/the-digital-marketing-playground [https://sites.mybump2baby.com/the-digital-marketing-playground] 📍Connect with featured members Suzanne https://www.mybump2baby.com/business-circle/chat-and-play-speech-therapy/ [https://www.mybump2baby.com/business-circle/chat-and-play-speech-therapy/] and Lisa https://www.mybump2baby.com/business-circle/physio-baby-ltd/ [https://www.mybump2baby.com/business-circle/physio-baby-ltd/] If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with another business owner who needs a little reminder that they've absolutely got this. 💜 Join the Event Waitlist here https://business.mybump2baby.com/widget/form/AP149Rj3RV8Ikjg4UmBZ?notrack=true [https://business.mybump2baby.com/widget/form/AP149Rj3RV8Ikjg4UmBZ?notrack=true] https://sites.mybump2baby.com/the-digital-marketing-playground [https://sites.mybump2baby.com/the-digital-marketing-playground] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
