E202: When I Start my Business I’ll Be Happy (?) with Sam Vander Wielen


Listen Later

Are you still waiting for success to bring happiness? What if you’ve had it backwards all along?

This week I’m thrilled to welcome back the brilliant and grounded Sam Vander Wielen, a former attorney turned legal educator and entrepreneur. Sam has helped over 150,000 online business owners get legally legit through her resources, templates, and signature program The Ultimate Bundle. Her podcast On Your Terms is a favorite of mine, and now she’s launched a new book: When I Start My Business, I’ll Be Happy — and trust me, it’s a must-read.

In our conversation, Sam shares the deep personal story behind her business journey, including health crises, grief, and multiple pivots. But she doesn’t stop at mindset—she gives real talk about building a values-aligned business, making strategic decisions, and why instant success is a myth worth debunking.

We talk about how business can become a vehicle for self-discovery and healing, not just a path to profit. This is a heart-centered conversation packed with wisdom for coaches, creators, and anyone navigating the messy, beautiful journey of building something of your own.

 

What we’ll explore together:

  • Business success doesn’t fix your life — inner work must come first.

  • Mindset and emotional regulation are foundational to financial growth.

  • Entrepreneurship amplifies what already exists within you.

  • You can build a sustainable, values-based business without burnout or gimmicks.

  • Legal clarity = personal confidence (and long-term business health).
