Switching up my usual surroundings and working from cafes in Hanoi and Saigon has been exactly the kind of refresh I needed. One of the month's highlights was surprising my partner for his...
The business world bombards us with constant pressure to think bigger, move faster, scale higher - as if building an empire is the only path to success. But who decided that was the only way? Can I share something vulnerable with you? In 2015, I had my highest revenue year ever in my business. Sounds great, right? But the truth? I was burned out, exhausted, and questioning everything. Sure, I looked successful on paper, but I felt empty inside. The business had grown, the team was bigger, but...
"There are so many coaches, consultants, and business owners out there. How can I ever stand out?" I hear this question constantly, and I get it. When the market feels crowded, it's easy to think, "What could I possibly say that hasn't already been said?" But there's always something that hasn't been fully addressed.
