What’s up, Dealmaker!

Let me ask you—do you have a business that lights you up or one that’s sucking the life out of you? 💀 Today, I’m spilling the beans on the two types of businesses out there. I’m sharing my own journey—the good, the bad, and the ugly. The tough choices, the financial slip-ups, and the lessons I wish I’d learned sooner.

And I’ve got some wild stories from my recent Alaskan cruise that’ll show you what real dedication looks like when you’re chasing a dream. 🛳️ So, are you in a business that fuels your passion, or just stuck in the grind?

Plug in your headphones and catch the latest podcast—let’s see which side you’re really on.

4 Thoughts to Kickstart Your Day

1. A Business Should Give, Not Take: If your business is draining you, it’s time to rethink. A true business should give you energy and purpose, not take it away.

2. Mentorship is Key: Surround yourself with people who’ve been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it. Learn from their mistakes so you don’t have to repeat them.

3. Value Your Time and Skills: Know what you’re worth, and don’t be afraid to charge for it. Your time and expertise are your greatest assets—use them wisely.

4. Chase Purpose, Not Just Profits: Don’t just build a business to make money—build a business to make a difference. That’s where the real success comes from.

4 Lessons Learned

1. Choose the Right Path: Not every business is a good business. Make sure what you’re building aligns with who you are and what you want out of life.

2. Don’t Be Afraid to Pivot: If your current path isn’t working, don’t be afraid to change direction. Sometimes a pivot is exactly what you need to find your true success.

3. Invest in Yourself: The best investment you can make is in your own growth. Keep learning, keep evolving, and always seek out knowledge.

4. Surround Yourself with the Right People: The people around you can make or break your journey. Find those who lift you up, challenge you, and push you to grow.

4 Challenges to Conquer Today

1. Evaluate Your Business: Take 10 minutes today to ask yourself if your business is bringing you joy or just stress. What needs to change?

2. Find a Mentor: Reach out to someone who’s ahead of you in the game and ask for their advice. Learn from those who have been where you want to go.

3. Add More Value: Think of one way you can add more value to your customers today. What can you do that sets you apart?

4. Make a Meaningful Connection: Call or message someone in your network that you admire. Build that “relationship capital” that can open doors down the road.
