Kate Mitchell’s business started after years of realising how many companies were hesitant to utilise technology because they lacked knowledge about it.
Blue Sky Results was created to help companies move forward by being guided through automating processes and using technology to benefit their business.
Kate’s ideal clients are small to medium businesses owners who have been in business for five to ten years. They will have reached a point where they can’t do everything themselves and need someone to guide them through systems, technology, and automation.
What Kate enjoys most about running a business:
“I’m inspired and motivated by the work I do with the business owners themselves. I like hearing about what people are doing, what their passions are, and helping them with the burden of technology and feel excited about their business again.”
Kate’s ideal business is one that offers a range of online products. She would like her website to become a virtual supermarket of helpful resources. Kate wants to have a steadier income so she is able to work on the projects she wants without worrying about cash flow.
What Kate Wishes She Knew When She Started
- You can’t do it alone – you need people to get advice from, people to help you with things you’re not good at, and that’s okay.
- It will be hard – you aren’t the only one. Everybody in your position understands how hard it is, but if you persevere but it will be okay.
- Be clear on your why – make sure you have a thorough understanding of why you are showing up everyday.
Kate’s Tips for Other Business Owners
- Spend just as much time working on yourself as you work on your business – take the time to build confidence in yourself and this will flow into your business
- Surround yourself with incredible people
- Take action, even if it isn’t perfect
Kate’s favourite entrepreneur changes often, but her current favourite is James Wedmore.
“He’s like a spiritual business leader in a lot of ways. He weaves business common sense with behavioural psychology.”
A problem that is solved for Kate through being a Premium Member of HerBusiness:
