This is the ultimate question, right? The entire point of this whole show?
After losing my job and deciding to build a brand new business from the ground up as a solopreneur, how do I seperate myself from my company? How do I justify taking time off when I am quite literally my only employee? How do I navigate being the career-driven hypermasculine woman that I feel like I need to be in order to make the kind of money that we NEED to have a comfortable life in today's economy when all I want to do is slow TF down?
Spoiler alert: I'm still figuring it out!
In today's episode, I reflect on my life over the last 3 months since the start of my business and share the good, the bad, and the ugly behind-the-scenes reality of entrepreneurship as I try to build a career for myself that goes beyond labels...while swimming upstream in an industry that seems to be founded on labels, templates, cookie-cutter programs and really stupid marketing tactics.
I've learned more about myself in the last 3 months than I have in the last 3 years. Learning how to find my unique voice online, learning how to make time for myself and my relationships in a season of life that seems to demand ALL of my attention, and learning how to embrace ALL facets of who I am without completely burning out...it's been challenging, to say the least.
And especially if you've always been a career-driven person, or a "goal getter" in any way, and you don't know how to move forward on this goal without letting it consume your entire identity...you'll want to learn these lessons for yourself, too.
Let me know what you think! :)
