Deep dives
Kirsty Verity's Inspiring Journey
Kirsty Verity shares her entrepreneurial journey, which began in Bali where she launched her Amazon business. She highlights the importance of evolving and recognizing that one does not need to stick with a certain career or business path for life. After reaching impressive sales milestones, she chose to exit her Amazon business and coaching endeavors to pursue personal development and help others grow. This decision reflects her realization that true fulfillment comes from passionate pursuits rather than mere financial success.
From Corporate Marketing to E-commerce
Before venturing into the Amazon business, Kirsty worked in marketing for major brands, including GlaxoSmithKline. Despite advancing in her corporate career, she found that the responsibilities and pressures diminished her enjoyment. Inspired by entrepreneurship and driven by a desire for freedom, she transitioned into e-commerce, initially exploring various business models before committing to Amazon. Kirsty emphasizes that her background equipped her with the skills necessary to run a successful online business.
Initial Success and Challenges
Kirsty experienced early success with her Amazon business, achieving rapid sales growth through a focused strategy. However, her journey was not without challenges, as she encountered significant setbacks, including account suspensions due to VAT issues and trademark infringements. These obstacles dampened her motivation and highlighted the pressures of operating in the Amazon ecosystem. Kirsty learned that resilience and adaptability are essential when faced with unforeseen circumstances in business.
Shifting from Success to Self-Discovery
Following a major low point in her career, Kirsty underwent a transformative experience that shifted her focus from external achievements to self-awareness and personal fulfillment. Engaging in introspective practices like ayahuasca helped her unlock deeper insights about her motivations and identity. This process encouraged her to embrace a new approach to her work, prioritizing authentic expression over conventional success metrics. She now emphasizes the importance of understanding one's true self and creating from a place of intuition and joy.
Fostering Personal Growth in Others
Currently, Kirsty is dedicated to coaching others on their personal and entrepreneurial journeys, aiming to guide individuals beyond mere operational strategies. She believes that unlocking one's unique genius is crucial for sustainable success and fulfillment. By helping clients navigate their fears and societal pressures, Kirsty encourages them to discover their true aspirations and creative potentials. Her mission is to create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their unique paths without the constraints of traditional business expectations.
