The Mind Of George Show 6 Relationship Mistakes that Prevent You from Scaling
It's easy to get wrapped up in the hustle of entrepreneurship and lose yourself along the journey. For nearly twenty years I struggled to understand that the most important relationship you will ever have in life is the one staring back at you in the mirror. And in today’s episode, I get raw with you and share a different podcast than what you hear on Fridays.
I had the pleasure to be interviewed by my friend Laura Poburan on all things relationships and much of what we talk about has never been shared until a few weeks ago. This is one of the most raw and vulnerable episodes I’ve ever done. Listen in as you discover why it’s so important to accept yourself before you help others, how you can create meaningful and lasting relationships with yourself and others, plus so much more.
Listen in to discover
- The most important relationship you can ever develop in your life
- How to create containers to avoid blurry lines in relationships
- Advice for coaches who aren’t willing to be transparent and vulnerable
- How to empower others in a relationship without creating codependency
- How to ensure you are in alignment so you can build a business that thrives
