Shelley Simpson, owner and founder of Mud Australia

“Always do the hardest thing first, because everything after that is easy.” It’s a motto that Shelley Simpson lives by, even though she admits it took years of practice to make that motto her reality.

In this Pep Talk with host Caroline Hugall, Shelley talks about growing her homewares brand side hustle into a main hustle, the importance of getting the right support (“get a good bookkeeper”), and how she focuses on the changes she can achieve in the world. “You can’t fix the whole problem, but you can work in your corner and just make that better.”
