Ep 129 - Natasha Golinsky, On Purpose Projects – Mindset Matters: The Key to Entrepreneurial Success
Featuring: Natasha Golinsky, On Purpose Projects
In episode 129, I talk with Natasha Golinski, founder of On Purpose Projects, a custom web and e-commerce dev agency. Natasha is a three-time Canada Women of Influence nominee, a mom of three, and a breast cancer survivor—and she’s built her business around the belief that mindset is everything.
We dig into how she went from “accidental agency owner” to leading a zero-meeting, all-contractor team for over a decade, and why journaling, EFT (tapping), and surrounding yourself with the right people are critical to surviving the entrepreneurial rollercoaster. Natasha also shares how a cancer diagnosis forced her to hire ops support—and ultimately led to one of her agency’s biggest months ever.
This episode is a masterclass in grit, leadership, and the mental game of entrepreneurship.
Key Bytes
• Mindset is the job. Natasha starts most days with journaling and EFT to reset anxiety and focus.
• Zero meetings, high loyalty. A culture of respect, gratitude, and no drama keeps her contractor team thriving.
• Protect your people. Leadership means absorbing the stress and passing the praise.
• Say no early. Guardrails in discovery protect the team from toxic clients.
• Crisis as catalyst. Cancer forced Natasha to let go of ops—and it unlocked growth.
• Community matters. No one is self-made—surround yourself with peers who lift you up.
• Focus sharpens delivery. On Purpose Projects does dev only—like a food truck that just serves crepes.
