702: Cathryn Lavery, Co-Founder BestSelf Co.

<p>How many of you use a physical journal to track your goals or just share how your day went? Journaling is a total art and our guest today, Cathryn Lavery, has found a way to make this old school past time new and fresh again. In fact, she’s built an 8-figure empire called BestSelf Co., selling paper journals and other organizational tools for productivity and focus.</p><p>But 2017, Cathryn says, was the hardest year of her life. It included a divorce and total burn out. Cat comes to the show on the heels of a retreat in Thailand where she unplugged from social media, did a complete detox and walked away with some new perspectives on life and work.</p><p>We also go back in time to explore the money principals learned as a young girl growing up in Belfast and the hard life lesson she learned as soon as she arrived in New York to start her job.</p><p>Cathryn is also a genius at Kickstarter. If anyone listening wants to run a fund-raising campaign and master that space, she has some advice.</p><p>To learn more about Cathryn visit <a href="https://bestself.co/">bestself.co</a> + <a href="http://www.littlemight.com/">littlemight.com</a> or follow her on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/cathrynlavery">@CathrynLavery</a>.</p><p>For more visit <a href="http://farnoosh.tv/podcast">www.somoneypodcast.com</a>.</p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
