Businesses can be an expression of who we are. But so many ideas never get to fruition because of our limiting beliefs, needing everyone's approval, or thinking you just need to find the ‘right’ senior role to make change…
In this episode, I speak with Annabel Burgess, founder, and Chief Sustainability Officer at Third Era Consulting. When I spoke with Annabel, her business was not even a year old, yet it was generating an abundance of clients and people who want to work with her.
We talk about turning an idea into reality, and the mindset shifts that need to take place to allow your creations to truly flourish. Annabel shares the key things she did both before and after launching that have helped her grow so fast, so quickly.
In this expansive episode, we discuss:
- Why surrounding yourself with like-minded people is the key to growth
- The path to launching your own business
- Overcoming seeking validation and instead learning how to trust yourself and your own intuition
- The process of ideas into reality
- How assumptions have the power to kill an incredible idea
- Overcoming self-doubt to launch your vision
- Building the courage to promote yourself and your services in the world
- What you really need to offer your first clients in business
- The importance of self-trust and trusting others
About the Third Era:
Ever since Annabel was little she’s always been curious about why there are so many outrageous environmental and social challenges in the world. Throughout her corporate career in law, infrastructure, and procurement she’s always attempted to support businesses and projects to make tangible improvements in sustainable practice. Despite these roles, she realized there was more that she could do.
So, in 2021 after working with Briony and a big leap of faith, Annabel launched Third Era Sustainability Consulting (Third Era for short). Their mission is to help high-performing businesses become industry leaders in sustainability.
When she’s not creating change with Third Era you can find her supporting community sustainability as a member of the Board of Trustees of Wao Wānaka, mountain biking with her dog Ollie, skiing in her hometown Wānaka, or freediving with her partner dreaming about how to restore the oceans.
