Why should there be any guilt in being resourceful or making extra cash? Spoiler: there shouldn’t be! 

In this episode, we’re diving into something I am so fired up about—why we need to let go of the shame, guilt, and judgment around getting creative with how we make money! Whether you’re freelancing, selling on platforms like Vinted, or offering side hustles, it’s all about innovation, abundance, and creating wealth in ways that work for YOU.

I’m sharing some real talk on why those £3 or £5 sales on Vinted matter (hello, £700!), how every little bit adds up, and why there’s absolutely no shame in finding multiple streams of income. 

In this episode, I’m talking about:
- Removing shame, guilt, or embarrassment around being innovative in how you make money.
- Selling items on platforms like Vinted, Facebook Marketplace, or freelancing as a valid way to generate income.
- Reframing these activities as resourceful and creative.
- Celebrating small financial wins.
- Being proud of all wealth-generating activities, regardless of societal judgment.
- Creating wealth and abundance can come from various places in your life.

Kite and Lightning is at the vanguard of changing the way we tell stories

Let’s be real—business feels different right now. Harder. Messier. More unpredictable. Maybe you’ve noticed it, too—clients ghosting, people backing out after saying yes, invoices getting “forgotten.” It’s frustrating, it’s exhausting, and honestly? It’s got to stop.

This episode is the honest conversation we ALL need. I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s really happening in the online business world, the blurred lines between personal and professional relationships, and the critical shift we must make to protect our businesses, uphold our standards, and stop the cycle of broken commitments. This isn’t about complaining—it’s about taking responsibility, setting boundaries, and demanding more from ourselves and the industry as a whole.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
00:00 - 03:00 – The Changing Landscape of Business
More instances of clients saying yes, then backing out or ghosting.
Importance of having honest conversations about these challenges.

03:01 - 07:00 – Personal vs. Contractual Relationships
Business owners often mix personal feelings with contractual obligations.
Feeling guilty about enforcing contracts is common but needs to change.

07:01 - 12:00 – The Impact of Lowering Standards
Many business owners lower their standards when things get tough
Instead, raise standards and enforce boundaries.

12:01 - 17:00 – The Importance of Upholding Boundaries
Business difficulties are not the provider’s fault; the client needs to take responsibility.
Service providers should enforce contracts rather than make exceptions.

17:01 - 21:00 – Industry-Wide Responsibility & Change
Everyone in the industry needs to raise expectations and commit to better standards.
Strengthening boundaries leads to long-term business stability.

21:01 - End – Final Call to Action
Business owners should ask:
How can I raise my standards?
How can I better uphold my boundaries?
How can I help my clients do the same?

“The Rehearsal” is about compulsively practicing conversations in your head—what you’ll say, how you’ll say it, and replaying it until it all feels just right, even if you end up never saying a word.

THE REHEARSAL
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

I deal in daydreams
I traffic in text
Endless predictions of
What you’ll say next

I pick my battles
And I take my licks
At the rehearsal
I rewrite the script

There’s something I have to get off my chest
But I don’t know how to say it best

Tape decks chew on old cassettes
Restless pacing wears the floorboards
Grasp at smoke and call it home
Shape my thoughts like molten chrome

Stories aching to be told
Every silence must be broken
But I bottled the eclipse
From my umbra to your lips

It’s a compulsion
A cognitive trap
At the rehearsal
I polish my act

I’m the sole architect of each pause
I preach my gospel to empty halls

Why not let the words find their own flow?
I can make it all up as I go

Improvisation
Is the skillful way
Trust when the time comes
I’ll know what to say

Let go of scenes
That may never exist
Live in the moment
And welcome the risk
