“One of the ways that I was able to find a business that serves me, no matter if it’s who my ideal client is or what my offers are, I always looked back at what my core values are in life and business and towards other people.”
Episode Summary:
This episode of The Business Whip is slightly different from the norm! I am sharing a roundtable discussion I was invited to with Julien Recoussine and Hayden Humphrey to talk about showing up authentically in your business and how to run a business that suits and serves you! As much as we love operations and talking about how important they are for whipping your business into shape, there is more to the game than just that. Sometimes we can feel that we are too weird, too out there, too unusual, and these ideas can limit us and our work in tragic ways. Here at The Business Whip one of the core values is freedom. Having the freedom to build an unapologetically authentic business has also enabled the success we have experienced! We all want to run a business that we are proud of, and that pride is tied to our connection to our work and how much we identify with what we do. To hear more about how to build a business that is genuinely yours, finding more fulfillment on the entrepreneurial journey, and creating a client base that you really want, listen in with us today!What You’ll Learn From This Episode:
