Episode notes

Are you an entrepreneur caught in the relentless pursuit of success, or perhaps you find yourself procrastinating, unable to take the necessary steps forward? In the latest episode of "A Changed Mind," I delve into the critical balance between action and rest, and how understanding your internal emotional seasons can lead to innovation, creativity, and ultimately, a thriving business.

Many entrepreneurs find themselves on the brink of a burnout, constantly pushing their limits without adequate rest. This relentless drive can lead to a decline in neurophysiology, biology, and mental health, preventing them from operating at their highest level.

On the other end of the spectrum are those who procrastinate, engaging in activities that feel like work but are essentially forms of self-sabotage, such as excessive social media use or unnecessary website tweaks. If you've ever felt like you're on a treadmill in your business, working hard but not getting anywhere, or if you're on the other end, avoiding the work you know you need to do, this conversation is for you.

We talk about the importance of stepping back to gain clarity and how sometimes, the best thing for your business is to take a break, to allow space for innovation and creativity. And for those who are stuck in fear, we discuss the power of taking action despite resistance.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that your business should not be your taskmaster, but rather a dynamic expression of your evolving self. So, if you're ready to learn how to work with your internal seasons and create a business that thrives in harmony with your personal development, tune in and let's get started.

Memorable Quotes

"Entrepreneurship is what's going to change the world. It's the only way to have true financial freedom, time freedom, location freedom, emotional sovereignty, psychological sovereignty."

"If we're not in appropriate rest, we're not in the space where innovation emerges, new ideas, new creativity. We're not connecting with ourselves."

"Your business is a rendering process of your own journey. You've accumulated character, skills, values, and experiences, and as an entrepreneur, you're packaging that into structures that represent a version of you, which we call a business."
