Ep. 6 Stop Treating Your Business Like a Hobby: Why Self-Doubt is Holding Your Business Back


Listen Later

🔥 Let’s get real—if you want to build something meaningful, you have to stop treating your business like a hobby. If you’ve ever downplayed your work, second-guessed your pricing, or barely seeing progress in your business it’s time to stop treating your business like a hobby. In this episode of Permission to Lead, I dive deep into the Hobbyist phase of the Leadership Journey, that place where you've got one toe in entrepreneurship and one foot out. Because waiting for confidence to show up before you go full speed ahead? That’s just cognitive dissonance in action.

 

Let's talk about...

đź’« Why so many empathetic entrepreneurs struggle to treat their business like a business

đź’« I share my own experience of downplaying my business for years and how that negative self-talk affected not just my business growth, but my relationships and ability to show up fully

đź’« I tell the incredible story of my client Hannah, who transformed from experiencing panic attacks about her "hobby" to owning two store locations with multiple employees

đź’« We dive into practical "needle movers" - those 3-5 key actions that will create the positive ripple effect your mission deserves

 

If you're feeling stuck in that one-foot-in, one-foot-out place with your business, this episode is your permission slip to step fully into your zone of genius. Because your work is not a side hustle, a cute idea, or something to explain away at family dinners. It’s real, it matters, and it’s time to own that.

🎙️ You deserve more than survival mode. Let’s build your legacy—on your terms.
