088: What It Really Takes to Create Freedom in Your Business

If I had to guess, I’d say you started your business because you wanted more freedom–to spend time with your family, structure your days how you see fit, and make as much money as you desire. But once you have a clear vision of what freedom looks like to you, how do you go about creating it in your life and business?

In this episode, I’m explaining how you can achieve freedom in your life and business, whatever that looks like for you. I’m explaining how I defined my own version of freedom and created a business that afforded that for me. I’m also sharing five ways you can start creating freedom in your own business.

What you’ll find in this episode:

  • How to define your version of freedom in your life and business

  • How to determine what’s keeping you from your freedom

  • Why it’s important to unhook from the opinions of others and release your fear of critique

  • How to practice responding instead of reacting

  • What “flavors” of freedom you can create in your life, and how to determine which is most important to you

  • How to identify and embrace your “unique advantage”

  • How to let go of the things–both internal and external–that are limiting your freedom
