Do you see yourself doing what you’re currently doing 10, 15, or 20 years down the road? If the answer is no, it’s time for you to make some shifts and start exploring other paths –especially if you are considering business ownership. 

 

Because if you want to find success and the work-life balance you crave, you need to have the awareness to know who you are, what feels right (and what doesn’t), and make decisions that reflect this. 

 

Luckily, today’s guest is giving us an inside look at her perspective and experience of making big decisions that prioritize how she wants to show up in life and in business. 

 

I am talking to the incredible Courtney Murphy, the Co-Owner and Lead Business Educator at Revival Hair Company, who is passionate about educating fellow hairstylists on building and maintaining a successful business with a healthy work-life balance. 

 

Courtney is joining me to talk about how she worked backward to build a business that allowed her to prioritize her family while still doing the work she loved. We’re having an honest, real conversation about what it takes to run a business after you pass that proof of concept stage, and I’m excited for it!

 

Get ready for a packed episode filled with tactical pieces you can use in your own business, including the mindset work necessary to grow, the value of building systems to understand how your brain works, how you do your best work, how you’re productive, and how you have the confidence in the choices that reflect your ‘why’ in business and in life.

 

If you’re ready to learn how you can take action to make those goals and dreams a reality, hit that play button, and let’s go!!
