If you’ve been in business for long, you know that it’s not all cupcakes and rainbows. Every day isn’t about living your best life and singing in the rain. In fact, more often than not, your business grows and develops directly proportional to your own personal growth and development.
Mine has been no different.
In the episode preceding this one I shared all about the beginning of my story. But then in 2020 my business like so many others experienced a huge shift that I wasn’t necessarily ready for at the time.
The “panini” brought up a lot of personal baggage that I’d been holding onto for many many years and they highlighted behaviors that I’d held over from my corporate life. The same corporate behaviors that I created my business to escape.
Listen as I share where the business is today and why it was a couple of personal decisions that I made for myself that led to massive growth. This episode isn’t as fun and upbeat as some of my other episodes but it’s real, raw, and extremely honest. Which is all I hope to be for you as you’re building your own businesses!
In This Episode:
[03:01] When my business started to feel the pressure of Covid, I dove into the Honeybook and Dubsado setups to keep things afloat.
[04:22] At this time I wasn’t physically or mentally in a good place.
[05:08] I atribute a few different things that I did to where the business is today.
[05:29] In the fall of 2020 I reached out to a therapist for help.
[06:44] Six months later I hired a personal trainer.
[08:07] The business went crazy in 2021 and we reached consecutive five figure months.
[11:15] I would agonize over small things in every aspect of my life.
[12:39] I don’t believe that the business would be where it is now if I hadn’t hired a therapist to face the scary boxes I had in place.
[14:45] I challenged myself to take a kickboxing class and now I am an instructor.
[16:30] With this podcast I want to have honest conversations that allow you to run a successful business.
[19:04] You can do anything you put your mind to.
[20:07] Thank you for listening!
