Show Notes

If you’ve ever felt a little out of place in the business world because you don’t want to do things the “normal” way, this episode is going to feel like a breath of fresh air. I’m sharing six of my most unpopular opinions and unconventional business practices that have actually helped me build a sustainable, values-driven business!

From resisting the pressure to be on every social media platform, to choosing depth over constant creation, to running a lean and mighty team, these choices might go against the grain, but they’ve given me freedom, peace, and impact in ways that align with how I want to live and work.

Whether you’re new to the Goal Digger Podcast or you’ve been around for a while, I wanted to bring this one back because it still resonates so deeply with how I run my business and what I stand for. So if you’ve been wondering whether you have to follow the crowd to succeed, this conversation will give you full permission to carve your own path. Let’s dive in!

Becoming an entrepreneur is the most expensive personal development program you will ever pay for, and I'm not even talking about the money. I'm talking about the version of yourself that you have to let die: the people pleaser who waits for permission, the woman who apologizes before she speaks, that part of you who thinks staying ahead of everything will finally make you safe.
