Purpose Powered Entrepreneurs

This episode is speaking to the heart of the female entrepreneur who has an overwhelming desire to succeed but isn’t treating herself like a serious business owner. Ashlynn and Lindsay provide practical strategies for putting the right systems in place to kick imposter syndrome to the curb, and also walk you through the essential mindset shifts that will uplevel your business from “hobby project” and “just a little side gig” to thriving success.

 

They discuss setting specific and measurable goals, scheduling your business hours into your calendar, separating personal and business finances, putting contracts in place, investing in yourself and your business, knowing when to turn business away and more! Plus a few embarrassing stories from their past and things they wish they’d done differently.

As business owners chasing our dreams we often possess an amazing combination of dedication, work ethic, passion and excitement. While those are all qualities that lead to success, they can also lead to burnout as we fall into the trap of working off of heart & hustle at the expense of our health. Ashlynn and Lindsay take us through five healthy habits that will not only improve your immediate productivity, but will help you create sustainability and give your business the longevity you desire. They share best practices for restorative sleep, mental self-care, balancing blood sugar for improved focus and energy, exercise, and some surprising insight into how caffeine may be doing more harm than good.
