Success and the Shy Girl

Momentum is a funny thing.

It's the reason why it's so hard to start a new project, but once you get going, it's hard to stop. It's like a snowball rolling down a hill - the longer it rolls, the bigger it gets, and the harder it is to stop.

So how can you get that snowball rolling? It can be easier than you think.

In this episode, we explore why building momentum is key to achieving your goals, and how to get starte...

If we were starting a business from scratch, one of the first things we would do is establish our core values.

Core values are the guiding principles that drive everything we do, from the way we treat our employees to the products and services we offer. Having clearly defined core values is essential for making sound decisions, both large and small.

Many entrepreneurs focus their energy on the future state of their goals. And while there's nothing wrong with working towards exciting things in your business there is a dangerous side effect to forgetting about the moment you exist in right now.

That moment is the in-between - all of the moments between where you started and where you're going.

Listen in as we discuss how to exist in the in-between in your business - and wh...

As an entrepreneur, it's important to set goals that will help you measure your progress and find success. 

But not every goal is created equal.

You'll hear all about how multitasking:
- is stealing your time
- is impacting your creativity

You wanted to be your own boss, and you had a great idea for a business that you know will make money. 

But now you're stuck in the day-to-day grind of running that business.

Maybe this has happened to you too?

You're motoring along in your business and all of a sudden the universe delivers a serious dose of the human experience. A spot in your life that causes a neccessary push of the pause button.

Busyness has become a badge of honour in our society. We wear it like a cloak of prestige, thinking that if we're busy, then we must be on our way to success. 

But what if busyness is actually keeping you from being successful? And keeping your business broke.
