Josie Kearsey of KlassEvents.com

Question 1
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
The biggest challenge was starting a new company and getting the name and brand into the market place. I used my networking and lead generation skills to get the business out there and found one of the best and most effective ways was to do joint projects with other businesses eg: a training company would put on an event and I would coordinate and facilitate the event management component.

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?
Make a 48 hour clock … The only thing I would do differently would be to market more aggressively rather than rely on word of mouth or referrals.

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?
I admire my mum she’s my super hero, at the age of 17 she had the guts, strength and determination to leave her family and her home, traverse the ocean and come to a strange land where she didn’t understand the language or the culture, to start a new life with my dad...I’m glad she passed those qualities on to me.

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.  What keeps you motivated?
I love seeing things evolve from just an idea into a reality…In my industry it’s all about the planning and the detail and finally the delivery of the finished product.. for me it’s the satisfaction of a job well done that keeps me going in for more.

Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips?

    1.    Work to an achievable plan and break it up into steps so that you realize your business goals.
    2.     Be clear about what you want to achieve for yourself and your business and get right in there to accomplish it. Obstacles are just speed humps to your success.
    3.     Possess a “whatever it takes” attitude… you will win peoples trust and trust is vital especially in the industry I am in.
