Two Ways to Serve

You don't have to start a charity to change the world!

In this episode, I share

  • Why it's crucial to separate business mission from your life mission
  • Why you must separate your mission to your clients with your mission to the world (your philanthropic vision)
  • Why both tasks are essential, but the first one funds the second
  • How your core business idea in and of itself has a significant societal impact even if you're not supporting a non-profit

You don't need to have it all figured out

Hi 

My clients often underestimate the power of small decisions, especially at the start of their transition from corporate to something better (we call it freedom). 

I find over 80% of the professionals I work with have already made crucial micro-decisions about their lives or careers. You might be in the space too; otherwise, you won't be here. They don't give themselves credit for it. The other 20% are stuck just before making the decision or choice--they know they want something better without knowing what that better is.

That is a massive decision! Congratulations.

I share three reasons why these micro-decisions are essential to you stepping into your epic life and building that business that will change your life.


Love, joy, and peace

Intuition or Fear
Join Other ambitious C suite and high-performing executives and professionals who wanna create exciting work that sets them free at freedomwithfola.com. The purpose of this Podcast is to help those struggling with fear so severely that it stops you from making the critical decisions you need to make in your career in your business to build your epic work life.  While I believe we must fight through and overcome fear sometimes (a lot of the time), justified concerns tell you something is wrong.  If you don't know the difference between your intuition/gut and genuine panicky fear, we end up in places we never should go. Instead, you've got to start listening more to the wisdom you've gathered over the decades of your experience as a business or corporate leader. You have a lot of information inside of a step that was not tapping into.

I few weeks ago, I put a poll in my facebook group and asked the question “Do you feel worthy?” The overwhelming response was no. And that’s a big deal As a result, I recorded a podcast on worthiness and how you can feel more worthy at work and in life.

Feeling worthy means you believe that you’re good enough, and youe have what it takes to make an impact and only two people can make you feel worthy.

We created a community for high performing senior women who feel stuck  and or unfulfilled in their careers. This is a space to connect with  like-minds and provide some support.
