Commitment is nothing more than a promise you make... in this case, to yourself.This episode is all about the transformative power of self-promise—it's the self-made commitment that keeps your business vision alive and thriving. Over the last 3 episodes, we talked about the combined strength of purpose, priorities and your 5 capacities (aka power) in relation to consistent success.But none of them work if you don't commit. For an entrepreneur, promises are more than just words; they're the lifeblood of our commitment to success.

You've heard it before: Trust your gut.But if it were that simple, we'd never question another decision we made, ever again.How do you tell the difference between your intuition and fear?Where is the line between logic and intuitive knowing?What role do they play in decision-making?How do you learn to listen to your gut when you've spent your whole life ignoring it for the voice in your head?Meaghan Pierce, author and entrepreneur, joins us to talk about all things intuition and how she learned to trust her own when it came to making pretty big leaps in her life. Together, we dissect the role of intuition in life's "fork in the road" moments.We touch on the shadow side of relentless self-improvement, where the pursuit of goals can morph into a cycle of never feeling quite "good enough", and we critically examine the line between life coaching and therapy, offering insights that challenge the status quo and encourage a deeper, more nuanced approach to personal growth.And when it comes to decision-making, we uncover the crucial role of a supportive community and the power of discernment in choosing whom to confide in. Drawing from our collective experiences, we highlight the significance of having cheerleaders who bolster our intuition and support our dreams, even when faced with skepticism. If you've ever wanted to learn more about what it actually looks like to trust your gut, you won't want to miss this honest reflection on trusting the compass of your inner voice and the courage to follow it with unwavering conviction.Guest Bio: Meaghan Pierce is the author of 8 mafia romance novels and 2 fantasy novels under the pen name Piper Easton.

How much do you really have to give (or give up) to be considered "all in" when it comes to your job or your business?This week, I recount a deeply personal journey, pulling back the curtain on the emotional rollercoaster of what seems like an increasingly convoluted job application process. I share the excitement of connecting with what seemed like the perfect team, where my expertise was truly valued, to the sting of having a promising job offer taken away because of the question of commitment.But this conversation goes beyond the nuts and bolts of job hunting. It's an exploration of the controversial demands for "all-in" dedication. I talk about how this expectation can be both a badge of honor and a source of shame, challenging the established norms of what employers expect. It's time to bring to argue for a healthier balance, one that values personal growth just as much as professional achievement, without leading to burnout. Through my experiences, I offer insights and critical perspectives that question the business world's definition of commitment. It's all about the struggles of seeking employment while running a business, and the important lessons on setting boundaries in the pursuit of a career that's truly fulfilling.Support the Show.Connect with Sarah: Get the 13-page free workbook, 3 Ways Your Career is Sabotaging Your Business at https://getcorporaterehab.com/detoxfromcorporate Follow her on Instagram (instagram.com/corporate.rehab)Learn how to work with her HERE (getcorporaterehab.com/services) The Business Blasphemy Podcast is sponsored by Corporate Rehab® Strategic Consulting.

Online business has evolved enormously since 2020. This week, I'm joined by 4 audacious and incredibly powerful and insightful business owners: Jennifer Battle, Rachel Aiken, Elaine Jardon, and Erika Tebbens.Tune in as they share their journey and the evolution of online entrepreneurship over the last few years. We unmask the aftermath of the pandemic and its effect on business strategies and buyer habits. We explore currency in the digital marketplace and the key to making sales. We pay homage to our collective growth, the trials and triumphs of doing business differently and the innovations birthed from necessity.We also talk about the changing definitions of business success. This isn’t just about revenue – it’s about personal growth, mentorships, and crafting a business model that is as structured as it is flexible, exploring the duality of working to live and living to work, and sometimes how the means to an end could be the end itself. We touch on a variety of topics within the online space: marketing, email and copy, courses and IP, strategy, education and coaching, capacity, and the over-simplification of teaching. With 2024 on the horizon, we leave no stone unturned, discussing our predictions for the business landscape and how it's changing (or needs to change), the need for a customer-centric approach and the balance between sharing your intimate journey while achieving larger-than-life results. Whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or a newcomer to the business world, this conversation is a necessity.Connect with Our Guests:Rachel Aiken: Rachel Aiken Consulting is an online business education company specialising in working with service based entrepreneurs.

Absolutely! I received an unexpected perspective shift direct from the hallowed halls of Hogwarts, which tied directly to business strategy -- and it was a lesson I absolutely had to share.We all know the struggles of business in the online space -- the shiny object syndrome (that I refer to as SOS), the FOMO (fear of missing out), all the distractions...The dreaded but incredibly tantalizing "side quests".This week I explore how to maintain a laser focus on your "main quests" to avoid being derailed by the "side quests". I share my thoughts on conducting a thorough audit of experiences and knowledge, the power of engaging conversations with coaches, and the need to fill any knowledge gaps. I also touch on the essential elements of planning a year of intentional focus on our primary business mission.

I reveal my 10 thought-provoking questions for self-reflection and discuss how it fuels my intentional planning. This year, I've chosen to fully embrace the holiday spirit by pausing all client work in December, gifting myself some time for rest and rejuvenation.In preparation for planning in the new year, these questions -- I feel -- should be part of your reflective process as you introspect on the year gone by and think about what has to change for the upcoming one. These questions will guide you to spot areas of resistance and define what you're prepared to welcome or bid farewell to in 2024. As I share the questions, I give context and elaborate as best I can, so here are the questions in their entirety in case you are listening without a notebook in the moment!1. What are 3 things I'm proud of having accomplished this year?2. What have I learned that I can continue to work on next year?3. What am I willing to fight for / stop fighting against? (or Where have I been throwing up resistance in my life or business?)4. What am I willing to show up for in 2024 / leave behind in 2023?5. Who am I going to be? What am I going to do?6. How do I want to live each day going forward?7. What is it important for me to do with my time each day / week?8. Who deserves space in my life? Who doesn't?9. Whose opinion of it all do I care about?10. What characteristics of the next version of myself do I want to cultivate next year?Support the Show.Connect with Sarah: Get the 13-page free workbook, 3 Ways Your Career is Sabotaging Your Business at https://getcorporaterehab.com/detoxfromcorporate Follow her on Instagram (instagram.com/corporate.rehab)Learn how to work with her HERE (getcorporaterehab.com/services) The Business Blasphemy Podcast is sponsored by Corporate Rehab® Strategic Consulting.
