When you build a business you hate with Cara Steinmann
If I could sum this episode up, I'd tell you to let go of expectations and embrace experimentation. Fortunately, this episode with the incredible Cara Steinmann cannot be easily compartmentalized. Join us for an ADHD rabbit hole about energy management, recreating a job you hate (cleverly disguised as your business), trying to be what people expect, and more. If you've ever struggled with finding yourself or your "thing" in business, this one's for you.
Can't-Miss Moments:
- Starting off strong with a good ol' fashioned Angie rant: YOU ARE NOT YOUR MONEY. YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR PEOPLE. You are worthy and awesome because you ARE, not because you DO.
- Cara's "oh shit" moment that led her to burn down her business and start from scratch at 40 (and how to recognize if you're on the same path)...
- One of my favorite show quotes ever comes courtesy of Cara: “Maybe I can just do whatever the fuck I want on those days…”
- Choosing between rest and the to-do list: how Cara and I discovered our non-negotiables and developed the confidence to stick to them (even when it might disappoint clients and customers)...
- What I did when I discovered a competitor had basically the exact same offer to the one I'd been secretly building for almost a year (my reaction might surprise you)...
