Podcast Summary
Be true to yourself for joy and fulfillment: Following passions brings joy and aligning with them may not always be financially profitable but creates a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Being yourself is essential for finding joy and fulfillment in both business and life. When we follow our passions and do the things that bring us the most joy, we are truly being ourselves. However, it's important to note that this may not always align with what is financially profitable. I've learned this firsthand when I was making a lot of money in business but wasn't enjoying what I was doing. It took me a long time to recognize that I wasn't serving optimally or creating the impact I wanted. By being true to ourselves and focusing on what brings us joy, we can create a more meaningful and fulfilling business and life.
Follow your passion for a fulfilling business experience: Focus on the business that brings you joy and alignment, reducing stress and increasing success.
Following your passion and being true to yourself can lead to a more fulfilling and less stressful business experience. The speaker shares her personal journey of shifting her business model to focus on areas that bring her joy and alignment with who she truly is. This has resulted in effortless flow, ease, and success. She encourages entrepreneurs to identify and pursue the business that brings them the most fulfillment and joy, as opposed to one that may only make money but doesn't align with their passions or true selves. By doing so, one can reduce stress and feel more like a "little kid," able to play and express their true gifts to the highest potential.
Aligning work with authentic selves for fulfillment: Focusing on authentic self-expression in work can lead to greater satisfaction and financial success
Money can provide freedom and reduce stress, but it's important to ensure that the work we're doing aligns with our authentic selves. If we're not fully expressing ourselves in our careers or businesses, we may feel unfulfilled despite financial success. To find fulfillment and maximize potential, consider assessing whether our current roles or ventures allow us to be our true selves and add value. By focusing on authentic self-expression, we may not only find greater satisfaction but also increased financial success. So, think about your own situation: Is your business or career enabling you to be your fullest, most authentic self? If not, consider making changes to align with your unique gifts and passions.
Being true to oneself in relationships and career: Expressing yourself genuinely leads to personal growth and better relationships, while suppressing it can lead to stress and negativity.
Being true to oneself is essential in both personal relationships and professional pursuits. The speaker shares their experience of feeling unable to fully express themselves in past relationships, leading to stress and negativity. This experience is not unique and can apply to various aspects of life. When we're not able to be ourselves, our relationships and businesses can suffer. The recent example of Bruce Jenner transitioning and expressing his true identity serves as a reminder that self-expression is a fundamental aspect of being human. The speaker encourages reflection on whether we are fully expressing ourselves in all areas of our lives and emphasizes the importance of doing so for personal growth and overall well-being.
Living authentically: Expressing ourselves fully: Examining if we're fully expressing ourselves in all areas of life, and making changes to do so, is crucial for personal growth and making a positive impact on the world.
It's essential to be true to oneself and fully express ourselves in all areas of life to give the most to the world and reach our full potential. The Olympic gold medalist's decision to live authentically, as shared in the discussion, serves as an inspiration to examine if we're fully expressing ourselves in our businesses, personal relationships, and daily lives. When we aren't, we're holding back our gifts and potential from making a positive impact on the world. Bruce Jenner's transformation, regardless of personal opinions, is an example of the importance of living authentically and being true to oneself. It's a call to action to evaluate our situations and make changes to fully express ourselves and give our best to the world.
