How to let your heart guide you through the most difficult parts of entrepreneurship
As a business owner, there’s so much focus on what your mind tells you to do.
Case and point: When you’re facing a challenge in your business, what do you do? You research. You look at the data. You strategize. You think from your head.
Even as a total data nerd myself, I’ve realized over the years that it’s just as important to tap into your heart as it is your mind.
In fact, your heart is the most neglected form of intelligence that you have — and according to my guest on this episode, Danielle LaPorte, you can actually use it to navigate your journey as an entrepreneur.
Danielle is one of the most acclaimed spiritual thought leaders of our time, who in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.”
I love this conversation with her, because I’ll be honest — letting my heart play a role in some of the bigger decisions that I make in business hasn’t always been the easiest thing for me. Like everything, it’s been something I’ve had to practice.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- What a heart-centered business is, and how you can create one
- How to overcome the low-level feelings of not “being enough”
- A new way to face challenging moments by choosing higher quality thoughts
… Plus so much more! I promise, you’ll get tons out of this episode – so go someplace comfy, pop in your Airpods and enjoy!
