Listen "115: Am I Too Much of a Hot Mess to Get to 7 Figures?"
Episode Synopsis
Are you trying to look like you've got it all together while in reality there's a whole lot of things going on you're scared of telling anyone about? You're not sure if you're offering the right services. You can't work certain hours or in certain ways and what if clients think you're not committed enough because of that, or that you can't be trusted to handle the work? You've always known you were on the right track before. Top grades in school, did well in extra-curricular activities, bonuses in your corporate life. At every stage in life, you were given a reward for your efforts and that's what success looks like. But now you're the CEO and the whole structure of work and reward has shifted. Life has possibly taken some unexpected turns for you as well. As women, we have a whole thing about needing to be perfect in order to be successful. Recently, a question I've been asked a lot (and I've asked myself) is: am I too much of a hot mess to get to 7 figures? And that's what I'm talking about on the podcast this week. I'm warning you now, I'm very vulnerable in this episode! I talk about: How different rules apply when you become your own boss Why I had no clue about the journey I was setting off on when I started my business How trying to be perfect can be detrimental to your business The importance of knowing your north star What to do if your mess starts to interfere with your work Useful links Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Jessica's LinkedIn profile
