Looking to do less and make more money? Working yourself to the bone so that you can eventually live the dream?

Yours truly gave it a go. I wanted to do less. Then I worked myself to the bone. Finally, I began to live the dream that I’d aspired to for so long.

Turns out, living it is wayyyy harder than working towards it…because you’ve gotta slow down.

Let’s pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to slow down when you’re a crazy busy mom entrepreneur because it might be hard for you, too. (Or, it might just be me.)

The last time you turned an opportunity down, how’d you do it?

Did you tell them that you weren’t interested? Give ‘em a hearty “Best Wishes!”? Or did you deliver good news?

Each time a woman doesn’t get what she wants out of a negotiation, an angel loses its wings.

My mission this week is to stop these angels from losing so many wings.

What’s in this episode:

Do you feel like a “people” person?

Maybe you’re outgoing. Engaging, even. But when you’re invited somewhere and you shudder at the thought while you’re quickly running through a list of excuses to get you outta the thing, how do you really feel about other people?

The delightful Christine Rose is my guest today. She shares a struggle all too common for sooooo many of us. It’s the struggle that involves a good ol’ “hi” and “how are you?” and  “it’s nice to meet you.” You know the one.
