114: How to Find Satisfaction as an Entrepreneur (Hint: More Money Won’t Do It)

When you’re starting a business from scratch, it’s easy to look ahead to the next milestone or achievement and think “once I get there, then I’ll be happy”.Once I have 10,000 followers… my business will feel important and legit.After I start making over six figures… all my money worries will go away.If I can build my business to the size of needing staff… then I’ll have really made it!Today’s guests, Emylee Williams and Abagail Pumphrey from Think Creative Collective have surpassed all of those milestones and then some. They’re back for a second time on Courage and Clarity with a heavy dose of reality of what it’s like to run an incredibly successful online biz.*Think it’s all rainbows and unicorns once you’ve “made it”? Think again.*In this episode we’ll explore what it really takes to feel satisfied as an entrepreneur. Because depending on outside vanity metrics or monetary milestones just doesn’t cut it. Emylee and Abagail had reached a point to where every hopeful entrepreneur wants to be. They had solid products, a large and engaged audience and steady income. Yet even though they were successful, they were both still unhappy and stressed. They just weren’t excited about what they were doing anymore.Something else was out there that they needed to be doing. They knew they needed to listen to their guts, follow their instincts and do something that felt fun and fresh again.*Enter the Boss Project Summit.*These ladies were so in tune with this new idea, that within two weeks of even thinking of it, doors were open for registration. Over the course of 4 days, 40+ speakers (myself included!) are going to absolutely shake things up in the attendees’ businesses. Whether it’s branding help, messaging tweaks, funnels set up, social media strategy in place, financial planning, mindset shifts, or more, they’ve got you covered.And if you’re reading this before November 6 2018 - you can still snag your free ticket here. (bit.ly/stephboss)This summit is such a great example of doing what feels right in your business vs doing what you think you should be doing. I think this episode has something for all of my listeners, those just starting out and the more seasoned of the bunch.
