Choosing between meaning and money is a trap.
Have you found yourself feeling stuck needing to decide between the two?
Perhaps you’ve been told:
>> You can only give back once you make a lot of money.
Or rather:
>> That if you focus on money, you are greedy, selfish, and not prioritizing serving others.
But having to pick meaning OR money is a FALSE CHOICE.
I know because I've experienced this inner dilemma in my own journey.
In this episode, for the first time I am sharing my own personal online business story, and the journey I've gone on in "the Meaning vs. Money F*ckloop" -- a belief construct that keeps us restricted in thinking that we must choose EITHER meaning and following our purpose OR money.
From my nonprofit career journey of focusing only on pursuing meaning to my family's financial struggles and feeling like I had to choose between the two, to starting an impactful online business and learning how it can be both/and - meaning and money - listen in to hear my MOST vulnerable episode yet.
Sharing my experience of struggling in and eventually busting out of the Meaning vs. Money F*ckloop, I touch on the shortcomings of the traditional approach to business that prioritizes profits over people.
In this episode I show you how I learned to blend core business strategies and skills with a focus on purpose and impact to develop a more aligned approach to business, finances, and life.
An approach that balances BOTH meaning AND money.
Listen in to learn how to overcome the false choice of needing to pick either meaning or money for good so you can build a life that aligns with your purpose and has financial peace of mind.
