Episode Highlights:
[06:50] Tying Success to Self-Worth
You could be the best in the world, and somehow still find a way you would have to go higher. That’s only setting yourself up for failure. No matter what you achieve on paper, it’s never going to be good enough.
Instead, take care of yourself, to be able to perform at your best. And that could mean working less while still being very productive.
[09:52] The Money Mindset
Success is 20% strategy and 80% psychology. If you think the latter is missing, then you’ve got to take a step back and focus on that because it makes all the difference. Mind matters before anything else and everything else will follow. As money mindset Coach Brooke Ritchie perfectly puts it, “If you want to go faster, slow down.”
For female entrepreneurs, in particular, There’s a phenomenon where they find it too difficult to break the six-figure ceiling and get to the seven-figure mark. The underlying issue is this collective consciousness among women about making a certain amount, and that has to shift if they want to hit the numbers in the easiest, least painful manner. Therefore, it requires a lot of mindset work as well as learning how to work around self-limiting beliefs.
If you tie your success to your worth, sometimes your subconscious mind sabotages you.
[20:03] Tips for Starting a Passion-Oriented Business

Make sure you have the runway, where you have enough money to support you for X amount of time that you’re still not going to be raking in any cash.
