Today’s episode is a little different because I’m actually stealing an episode from my friend and podcast producer Marie’s podcast, Your Girl, where we sat down with Andrea to talk through our biggest business lessons from July.And honestly? There are A LOT.We’re talking about delayed gratification, client rejection, self-trust, networking, burnout, CEO time, making more money by doing less, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for your business is… go outside.In this episode, we’re talking about:Why the clients you sign today might have been watching you for monthsThe reminder that business is basically one giant lesson in delayed gratificationWhy you should never celebrate until the money is in the bankHow to stop taking client rejection personallyThe difference between someone rejecting your offer and rejecting youWhy people can say yes on a sales call and change their mind afterwardHow setting boundaries can completely change the way you show up in businessWhy your network is probably much closer than you thinkHow “one degree away” relationships can lead to clients, referrals, friendships, and opportunitiesWhy you should stop forcing yourself into a productivity schedule that doesn't actually work for youThe weird realization that sometimes the less I work, the more money I makeWhy successful business owners can become addicted to being busyThe importance of creating actual CEO hours instead of spending every second doing client workWhy you need to work on your business, not just in itGiving yourself permission to have hobbies, travel, go to the beach, and have a personality outside of your businessWhat it looks like to let your business grow up a little so it doesn't need you 24/7Why self-trust becomes absolutely essential when you're making big life and business movesWant to check out more from Marie?🎧 Listen to her podcast about scaling your business: Your Girl 👉 Follow her on Instagram: @yourgirlmedia Sign up for my newsletter, the Content Compass, the weekly newsletter for travel creators who are already landing brand deals and are ready to build the business behind their content.Get five shifts that will take you from travel creator to business owner with actionable next steps included.
