Are you feeling stuck or stagnant, bored and burnt out creating the same-old content? Or maybe you’re enjoying the content you’re creating and the topics you speak about, but you’ve hit a plateau. Your business isn’t growing, speaking opportunities aren’t growing, and most importantly you’re not growing. Your business and opportunities will only grow if you’re stretching and growing yourself. In order to do that, we have to break some rules; rules that make us feel safe, comfortable, and validated. Now, I’m not really a rule follower, I call myself a rule-bender. This is why I’m always thinking and looking at ways to challenge the status quo. In this episode, you’ll hear 3 rules you should consider breaking and why and how to do it. I also have a big change, a rule I’m breaking, that I’ll share with you at the end, along with the ways you can work with us in 2025.
