Time:	12:00 - 12:30

In this webinar, Kristal Baker tells you how to build time into your daily life so you can begin the steps of bringing your side hustle, start-up or new business to fruition – around your 9–5.

These steps also apply if you have childcare or other caring commitments during the day, which make carving out the time to start a business seemingly impossible.

Topics covered in this session

Why it's possible to get started, even if you believe you don't have time

Practical tips for creating this time in manageable, daily, bite-sized slots

A first-hand, relatable example of what you can achieve if you implement these steps

About the speaker

Kristal is an advisor, a business founder and a public speaker who knows first-hand what it's like to build a business before you feel ready.

Starting out as a new mother, alongside a 9–5, with no industry connections and no clear roadmap, Kristal grew her water brand Luxwells from an idea into an award-winning business, recognised by Vogue, Tatler, Harper's Bazaar, The Guardian, Country Living, Radio Times and BBC Good Food.

Today, Kristal supports side-hustlers, first-time founders and early-stage entrepreneurs who want practical guidance from someone who has actually been in their position.

Through live workshops and courses, she breaks down the exact steps behind securing press coverage, approaching retailers, building confidence and transitioning out of a 9–5 – without a big budget or an insider network.

Luxwells

From 9-to-5 to Vogue, Selfridges, Beyoncé, and beyond. I help side-hustlers and early-stage founders turn their ideas into credible, visible brands — step by step, without connections or guesswork. Kristal is an Advisor, Business Founder & Public Speaker, who knows first-hand what it’s like to build a business before you feel ready. Starting out as a new mother, alongside a 9-to-5, with no industry connections and no clear roadmap, Kristal grew her botanical infused, water beverage brand Luxwells from an idea to an award-winning business, recognised by Vogue, Tatler, Harper’s Bazaar, The Guardian, Country Living, Radio Times, and BBC Good Food. Securing stockists such as Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason within the first 6 months of launching, Luxwells has also been served to Beyoncé, Sara Davies of BBC's Dragon's Den, Rio Ferdinand, Kelly Rowland & Mayor of London Sadiq Khan. Kristal has also gained mentorship from Martha Stewart & Tim Campbell of BBC's The Apprentice, navigating the realities of pitching, rejection and overcoming visibility anxiety. Today, Kristal supports side-hustlers, first-time founders, and early-stage entrepreneurs who want practical guidance from someone who has actually been in the same position. Through live workshops and courses, Kristal breaks down the exact steps behind securing press coverage, approaching retailers, building confidence, and transitioning out of a 9-to-5 — without a big budget or insider network. As a keynote and panel speaker, Kristal has also spoken at events hosted by Baroness Karren Brady MBE & Steven Bartlett, The Evening Standard, Women In The Food Industry and The Grocer. With an approach that is transparent, approachable and grounded, Kristal openly shares her wins and lessons learned, with a focus of helping early-stage founders build momentum, clarity and self belief — one step at a time. If you’re building a side hustle, exploring a start-up idea, or taking your first steps into business, you don’t need to have it all figured out. Register your interest with Kristal to gain clear, practical direction on what she did in her business, so that you can implement this too. No jargon. Just honest guidance from someone who started exactly where you are.
