EP 387 | It’s Bigger Than You Think with Sarah Von Dreele

July 30, 2024

Listen Now

It can be challenging to think broadly into the future while responding to what is happening in the moment. Don’t worry. It’s ok not to know what’s going to happen next. You don’t have to have everything figured out in advance. Trust that your journey is big and powerful and you’ll figure out how to take the next, right step.

In this episode we learn:

  • get the soundbites—meet people, make friends, go for coffee and conversations
  • rely on a group of trusted advisors, formal and informal
  • accept that there will be days when you feel like you are going backwards
  • have a dream space—running, airplanes, swimming, a sit-n-spin, or anything
  • take time away from the work to recharge your creative battery
  • work with a therapist, life coach, business coach

 

DESIGN INTERVENTION

If it feels like you are out of people to talk to and no one understands, or friends and family can’t relate to what you’re doing at this point in your business, you’re not alone. Find someone to have a validating conversation with. It’s important to give and receive counsel to and from others on your journey as a business owner.
