We all reach points in our lives where we realize that what we've
been doing is no longer serving us. Maybe it was never serving us
and we were only convincing ourselves that it was.
So what do we do when we encounter these inevitable
realizations?

Freedom is one of the primary reasons many of us choose to go
into business for ourselves, but it doesn’t happen on its own.
The reality is that living life and building a business of
freedom requires an intentional approach.

in-depth guest info, and more.

one thing you want to focus on (12:15)

biggest takeaway.
Building Your Business To Fit Your Lifestyle
Natalie Sisson was working in the corporate world when she
realized that a traditional 9-5 wasn't what she wanted to do with
her life. She now runs her own business which helps women get
paid to be themselves by tapping into their skills, expertise,
and knowledge to build thriving online businesses that fit into
your unique lifestyle and version of freedom.
What Does Freedom Mean To You?
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what
would constitute your ‘perfect day’? Natalie believes in working
backward to intentionally build your version of freedom into your
days, weeks, months, and years so that you can live your version
of freedom.
While your idea of freedom will change depending on which stage
of your life and business you are in, getting clear on what
freedom means to you, and how you can take small incremental
steps to achieve that freedom, is crucial. Do you desire to
travel full time? A 20-hour workweek? How about a sabbatical once
a year? Whatever your version of freedom is, it is essential for
you to identify it, choose it, and honor your decision for your
own wellbeing and the longevity of your business.
Turning Your Goals Into Reality One Day at a
Time
Once you have decided what freedom looks like to you, you need to
adopt a methodology to turn your dreams into reality one day at a
time. By breaking your version of freedom down to manageable and
feasible pieces, you can take your ‘big ass goal’ and work
towards it every day, week, month, and year.
Natalie believes that success should not just be measured in your
profit. By aligning your business to your personal goals you can
move towards them in a way that stands true to you and will
eventually serve everyone in the long run. Freedom is truly all
about the power of choice and making the decisions that serve you
and others, and the more organized and disciplined you can be,
the more freedom you will have.
What does freedom look and feel like to you? How could
you implement small steps daily to achieve your ‘perfect day’?
Share your thoughts on freedom with me in a
voice memo here.

Figuring out how to brand yourself, especially when starting out
as a solopreneur, can be a daunting task. Instead of getting
caught up in the trend-of-the-day, however, have you ever
considered that maybe, the thing that matters most is tapping
more deeply into who you are?
We often find ourselves on the inside of our own bottle, unable
to read the label on the outside. By approaching your branding
with a flexible perspective that feels authentic to you, you can
radiate the confidence necessary to grow your business and your
brand.
Check out the full show notes with key takeaways, quotes,
in-depth guest info, and more.

only your mindset but your brand and business too (4:04)

runs through your brand on your own (11:39)

The Importance of Your Personal Story
Sarah Ashman is a self-proclaimed unconventional brand designer
who focuses on the internal process of branding to help her
clients find success. Sarah has worked with hundreds of
entrepreneurs over the years and has grown her own business with
essentially no outward marketing.
This is thanks to her crystal clear vision and the confidence
that comes from knowing what makes you unique and standing strong
in the way you show up in both your business and your life.
Confidence Is Key
As an entrepreneur, it can be easy to get
caught up in the mentality that if you don’t have the confidence
to pitch something, it will never work. In reality, you gain that
confidence by feeling secure in what your superpowers are.
Sarah knows that the strongest branding messages come from
acknowledging who you are and what you want to be doing with your
business. Once you get clear on that, your confidence will
radiate and you will begin to attract people because your brand
is authentic to you.
Try focusing on where you want your brand to be in five years. By
creating a brand that you can grow into, instead of just basing
it on the current trends, you will have a better chance of
creating a more sustainable branding approach that actually
represents who you are more confidently.
New Isn’t Always Better
We are constantly being taught that we need to learn the next
tactics and strategies and shift with the market. Sarah has come
to understand and believe that it is really more important to
develop a relationship with yourself as a marker of what feels
right for you versus what someone else says is right for
you.
Having a strong sense of self is crucial to growing your
businesses and your brand in a way that is sustainable and is
clear on what you want your company to become. By using yourself
as your own board of directors, you can assess what is the right
thing to help you grow your business in a way that feels in
alignment with you and your brand.
What aspect of branding is most intimidating to you? How
are you going to take Sarah’s tips to tap into your identity and
create a brand that feels in alignment with who you are? Share
your thoughts with me in a voice message

Workplaces are going through a wellness revolution. And while
organizations rely on partner practitioners to help facilitate

whole new captive audience.
Check out the full show notes with key takeaways, quotes,
in-depth guest info, and more.

Supporting a Community While Growing Your Business
Ash Dey is passionate about building communities and a sense of
belonging in the workplace. Founder of the wellness company
OpenMind, Ash works to bring wellness practitioners, communities
and companies together to deliver inclusive wellbeing programs
for employees. He connects workplaces with care programs to help
practitioners capitalize on partnerships, bring workplace
wellness accessibility to major companies, and foster a greater
sense of community and togetherness throughout employers in the
UK.
Wellbeing Is Now on the Agenda
The Covid-19 pandemic has workplaces
around the world focusing on how they can actually do something
to help their employee's wellbeing. Whether that is through
workshops, speaking engagements, or one on one training,
workplaces are finally realizing the long term financial and
emotional benefits of taking care of their employees.
When pitching your services to a business, it is important to
focus on the value you are adding, rather than your price point.
By pitching from a place of ‘this is a cost-saving to your
business’ rather than ‘this is going to cost you money’, you can
demonstrate your immediate return on investment and your ability
to build up a wellness program based on what their employees
need.
Building Better Through People, Purpose, and
Planet
When pitching yourself to a company or corporation, it is
important to focus on the challenges they are having right now
and how you can position your services to build connectivity
among their companies peers. A great way to narrow down on this
is by asking the employees for feedback, an opportunity many
practitioners miss.
Ash is all about having a positive impact on the workplaces he is
supporting, the wellness practitioners he is connecting, and the
planet as a whole. By removing accessibility barriers, connecting
with a company directly through your pre-existing community, and
introducing wellness programs into workplaces, you too can
support your business more collaboratively and have a positive
impact on your lead generation.
Have you ever considered sharing your offerings with a
small, medium, or large company? How does your wellness business
work to have a positive impact on the people, purpose, and planet
you serve? Share your thoughts with me in a
voice message here.

Have you ever considered that the happiness you seek could be a
side effect instead of your end goal itself? What if, instead of

Check out the full show notes with key takeaways, quotes,

Discovering Your Opportunity for Growth
After serving in the Marine Corps and overcoming depression,
substance addiction, and suicidal thoughts, Akshay literally
wrote the book on developing a positive relationship with fear
and suffering. Akshay’s mission is to help others find, live and
love their worthy struggle so that they can experience a life of
greater bliss and meaning.
Now a lover of all things he used to be scared of, Akshay
continually pushes himself physically and mentally to find the
growth on the other side of the struggle.
Falling In Love With The Struggle
Akshay believes that life is meant to be
lived, and experiencing struggle, fear, and stress are all part
of the grand adventure. Instead of running from your fears,
Akshay wants you to fall in love with the experience of suffering
to continue to grow as a person and continually experience new
awakenings.
If you don’t have a worthy struggle in life, you are not going to
grow. Every time you fall there is an opportunity for new growth
if you choose to see it. If you want to determine your worthy
struggle, Akshay suggests working backward from the future and
getting clear on who you want to be. While knowledge comes from
others, wisdom comes from within yourself, and it is only by
embracing the fear and the struggle that you can benefit from the
growth on the other side.
Engaging With Your Fear
Having confidence is not the fuel you need to try the thing that
is causing your fear, stress, or anxiety. Confidence is the
result of striving for clarity, commitment, conviction, courage,
and developing your capabilities.
The key to inner peace is the pursuit of a worthy inner war. When
you are able to embrace, confront and understand your fear, you
can use it as a catalyst to turn your demons into something
purposeful.
Being able to engage with your fear takes practice, but it is
only by motivating yourself to get to the other side of fear that
you can find true nirvana. The union of opposing dualities is
where true spiritual awakening lies, and understanding this fear
can help you push past your own anxieties, and your clients, to
help them use fear as a crucial part of the healing
process.
Instead of beating yourself up over your fears, Akshay challenges
you to engage with it, understand it, and move forward with it.
By challenging yourself, stepping out of your current paradigm of
the world, and embracing the coexistence of light and dark in all
aspects of your life, you build ease, joy, and contentment into
your life in a way that you never thought possible.
How are you working to fall in love with the experience
of suffering and use that growth as the catalyst to shift your
mindset and find happiness in the struggle? Share which of
Akshay’s perspectives or mottos you connected with the most with
me in a voice message here.
