Katie Richardson was a young mother making baby gear on her mom's 1962 Bernina sewing machine while her kids napped. A boutique owner asked to sell it and told her she would regret it if she did not use her gifts. Katie felt that future regret so strongly that it pushed her to start a business she knew nothing about.
She launched her product in 2010 and within a year it was in 2,000 US stores with distribution in 26 countries. Over seven years she grew it into a multimillion dollar international company with about 30 products, then exited. Today she runs a business coaching company, works less than 20 hours a week and makes more money than she ever did.
In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Katie shows you how to align your thoughts, feelings and actions so you can make hard decisions and build a business that fits your family.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Use future regret as fuel. Walk your current path five years forward and look back. If you feel regret, those five years have not happened yet and you can change course now.
- Build daily practices. Katie exercises, journals, prays, reads scripture and keeps a weekly date night with her husband. Those habits let her work clear and fast.
- Stop waiting for the perfect decision. Katie stayed stuck for almost two years on a choice that affected her family, team and clients. She learned the skill is choosing, not choosing perfectly.
- Watch the words you use about yourself. Lines like ”I'm always late” or ”I'm tired today” shape how you show up. Decide who you are first and your results follow.
- Give your kids real responsibility. Her boys packed their own backpacks for a move to Taiwan at ages three, five and seven. Her chore chart gives identities like Chief Dog Officer and Duke of Dish Land.
- Define what matters before success shows up. Money, fame and recognition pulled at Katie when her business took off. A clear North Star kept her growth from costing her family.
If you are a contractor business owner and you want to make more money, work less, and win at home, we built something for you.
