In a recent conversation with Adelle Howse from Howse & Rivers, Natasha Hawker shared the journey of starting and growing Employee Matters. While many see an "overnight success," the reality is a story of grit, resilience, and continuous learning.
Over the last 14 years, Natasha has learned that you need to be both incredibly resilient and optimistic. You must be prepared to dust yourself off and start again when things go wrong. Perhaps most importantly, you need a touch of naivety. If many knew what they know now when they started, many entrepreneurs, especially women, might never have begun.
Her journey taught her to invest heavily in business education, embrace the power of negotiation, and understand that fear can be a powerful motivator. She also learned that you must always do great work, be memorable, and surround yourself with a great team. They are the true powerhouse of any business.
