In this episode of What One Thing?, Phil flips the mic and interviews co-host Hayley Baxter about her journey from burnt-out corporate finance leader to founder of Corbar Accounting.
Hayley opens up about the fears and doubts she faced starting her business, why she didn’t call herself an accountant at first (despite being experienced and qualified!), and how a random taxi ride at a business event helped her build the support network that’s been pivotal to her success.
They chat about:
✔️ Making the leap from employment with no clear plan
✔️ How imposter syndrome shows up even after 20 years’ experience
✔️ Finding your first client through Facebook (and sheer nerve)
✔️ Why networking is a skill, not a personality trait
✔️ The one thing that’s made the biggest difference to Hayley’s business growth
If you’re a business owner navigating early growth — or still stuck on the edge of “should I start?” — this is one to plug into.
