Imperfect Courage
About this book
Want to make a move but scared to leave your comfort zone? Go anyway.In Imperfect Courage, the founder of the popular fair trade jewellery brand Noonday Collection shares her story of starting the rapid-growing business that impacts over 4,500 artisans in vulnerable communities across the globe-and invites readers on a journey of transformation, challenging them to trade their comfort zones for a life of impact and adventure.In 2015, Inc. magazine recognised Noonday Collection as one of the fastest-growing companies in America. But years earlier, as Jessica Honegger stood at a pawn-shop counter in Austin, Texas, and handed over her grandmother's gold jewellery, her goal was much more to fund the adoption of her Rwandan son, Jack, by selling artisan-made jewellery.This first step launched an unexpected side-hustle that would grow into Noonday Collection. Jessica embarked on this new journey and teamed up with her first artisan partner, Jalia, a Ugandan jewellery maker. She saw the meaningful impact Noonday brought to Jalia's community and knew it was the right move.Fear crept into Jessica's heart as she realised her success, or failure, meant the same for Jalia. But refusing to let fear hinder her goals, Jessica found the necessary (if imperfect) courage she needed along the way--the courage to leave comfort and embrace a life of risk and impact.In Imperfect Courage, Jessica takes you by the hand and invites you to trade your comfort zone for a life of impact and meaning
