As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get swept up in the hustle, the late nights, and the constant pressure.

| 113. Living & Earning: The Dolly Parton Way | 30 janv. 2025 | 00:45:51 | |
Most small business owners I work with would say they started a business for freedom : freedom of time, creative freedom, financial freedom… yet somewhere along the journey we build business that have us chained to our desk instead of out in the sunshine, stressing over unanswered emails instead of playing with our kiddos, and pinching pennies instead of paying ourselves on autopilot. Not to mention, 81% of us are doing it all ourselves. We are the marketing department, the accounting department, the visionary and the workerbee. Why does this happen? How did we get here? Why do so many influencers, youtube stars and 8 figure earners burn out despite the “success”. Today, I’m unpacking those very questions and sharing my 6-part plan to building a business that’s not only life-giving, but also boosts your bottom line. --------- | |||

In today’s conversation, we’re diving deep into their journeys—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how they’ve transformed financial fears into financial freedom. Whether you're deep in the hustle or just starting to dream, this episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and actionable takeaways that will help you build a business that works for you—without losing sight of the things that matter most.

| 108. Why Goal-Setting is Overrated (and What to Do Instead) | 26 déc. 2024 | 00:23:36 | |
It's that time of year again—where the magic of the season meets the whirlwind of new resolutions and goal setting. But let’s face it, the excitement of setting goals often fades by February, leaving many of us questioning: Why do goals feel so hard to achieve?

And, as someone who's struggled with this cycle myself, I’ve been there too. In today’s episode, I'm diving deep into the better way to set goals—one that’s rooted in clarity, values, and science. No more traditional goal-setting that leaves you feeling defeated. I’m sharing the steps I took (and continue to take) to finally achieve what matters most, all while avoiding the dreaded goal failure. This episode is part 2 of a special end-of-year planning series where, in part one, I walked you through my end-of-year business review process.
