Building a business on your own terms is easier said than done.
The online space for a business owner is littered with voices, gurus, experts, and thought leaders who tout themselves as the consummate experts for achieving success.
So you try all these ideas and methodologies in your organization. But trying to chase every new fad or every best practice to come on the scene is like riding a neverending roller coaster.
What happens when their ideas don’t pay off?
Or when you realize that after years of taking other people’s advice, you’ve built your business on the wisdom of others – rather than your own instinct or desires?
Today, I’m tackling this idea of building your business on your own terms, not what the guru says you should want and how to trust your vision for the future.
In this episode, you will hear:
- The pitfalls of listening to gurus, influencers, and thought leaders at the mercy of our own desires
- Neglecting to look inward in figuring out what you really want
- Steps to discovering what you really want
- The need to take action even in the absence of clarity
- Redefining success to do the work that fills you up
- Changing course no matter where you are in your journey
- Focusing on your ideas that breed confidence
