Kristin Austin is the founder and Chief Encouragement Officer of 1 Small Thing, a community for people who know they have something valuable to offer the world but feel stuck, scattered, or anxious about where their next client will come from. After years of working alongside business owners, and as a fellow business owner of 15 years herself, she often saw how growth stalled not because of a lack of skill, but because doing the work of business development was an often lonely, scary endeavour which made it that much harder. 1 Small Thing was created to change that. Instead of hustle, pressure, or glossy ‘marketing’, Kristin helps people build steady momentum through small, human actions done consistently and together. Her work focuses on turning fear into forward motion, helping members build a real pipeline, regain confidence in themselves and create businesses that support their whole lives, not just a bank balance.
