53: What got you here won't take you where you want to go
A podcastról
A New Ambition is for independent business owners who want a successful business and a well-lived life.
You've worked hard to get here. But the business has grown and the way you've always worked isn't working the same way anymore. You're stretched thin, running on empty, and tired of putting everything else on hold just to keep things moving.
You've probably told yourself it will get easier once you hire the right people, once you get through this season, once sales hit that number. But as your business grows the pressure doesn't go away, and it doesn't get easier. If anything it's the opposite.
I know what that's like. For years, growing my business was my only goal. Then I realized I wanted more: more time for myself, my relationships, and my health, without giving up the business I'd built. I thought I'd lost my ambition, but it turned out, I just had a new one.
I'm Krista Williamson, seasoned business owner, trusted thinking partner, and leadership development coach for independent business owners. Every other week I'll help you reclaim your time, lower your stress, and lead your business in a way that makes your well-lived life possible.
This is A New Ambition. What's your new ambition?
