Listen "Why Every Business Needs Core Values (Even If It’s Just You)"
Episode Synopsis
What if your business culture isn’t slipping because people don’t care—but because you never actually taught it?When I first opened Hustle & Heart, I had passion, purpose, and even a set of values written down in our handbook. But as we grew, something felt off. People were making decisions that didn’t align. The energy didn’t always feel like “us.” And that’s when I realized—I had never actually taught the culture I wanted to build.This episode is for anyone who thinks core values are just fluff. I’m sharing what happened when I neglected them, how I rebuilt them from the inside out, and why your values matter whether you’re leading a team or just trying to lead yourself well.🔑 What You’ll Hear02:08 why culture without clarity leads to chaos03:40 the mistake of assuming values are obvious04:17 how I rewrote our values to make them teachable05:35 our 6 updated core values at Hustle & Heart07:27 why clear values make hard conversations easier08:40 the surprising reason solo stylists need values most09:47 the leadership book that helped me get unstuck10:21 a free workbook to help you define your own values📌 Free ResourceI created a free downloadable workbook called How to Lead: A Wholehearted Guide to Building a Values-Driven Business.
