What if your resistance to traditional business strategies isn't a mindset block to overcome, but actually your inner wisdom guiding you toward authentic success? In this raw and honest conversation, Creative Entrepreneur Coach Kellyn Bechtold (MBA/MPH, Wayfinder Certified Coach) shares her unconventional three-year journey of choosing self-discovery over self-discipline to build her coaching business, The Out Beyond, where she helps creative entrepreneurs grow businesses that function and flourish. 

She is a former operations director, trained coach, and Survivor CBS alum, she blends hard strategy with soulful insight to help others create sustainable success through self-discovery instead of self-discipline. This deeply personal episode explores the courage it takes to build a business on your own timeline, the financial fears that arise when you reject conventional wisdom, and how trusting your desires can lead to more sustainable success than forcing yourself through someone else's blueprint.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why resistance to popular business strategies might be your intuition pointing you toward a more aligned path, and how Kellyn learned to use "I don't want to" as valuable business intelligence rather than something to overcome through self-discipline.
• The real cost of building a business that doesn't honor who you are, including how Kellyn's corporate experience showed her that even high earners can be miserable, and why inner peace became her new definition of wealth.
• How to navigate the financial fears that come with choosing an unconventional business path, including Kellyn's honest sharing about crossing financial boundaries she thought would mean danger, and her practice of "writing checks to herself" for the freedom she's gained.
• The difference between building a business from external validation versus internal alignment, and why getting people to say no earlier can actually accelerate your success by filtering out misaligned clients.
• Why your timeline for business success doesn't have to match anyone else's, and how taking time to "rest" and figure out your authentic path can actually be the most productive thing you can do for long-term fulfillment and sustainable income.
