The journey to going after big goals is often challenging.
Today I’m sharing a little bit about my personal life that had a lot of lessons in it that I think are relevant to business.
I've faced my fair share of rejections and self-doubt over the years. Reflecting on my 15 years of volunteering and my dream of joining the executive board of an international organization, I realize how important resilience is. Rejection is universal, and how we react can vary.
On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business Podcast I’m chatting about the sting of rejection, the not-so-glamorous tasks that build character, and the wisdom from trusted mentors. It's all about going all in on your dreams, balancing that confidence with a touch of "what if it doesn't work out," and always thinking about the value you bring to others.
YOU’LL LEARN:

My business, Nourish North, has been operational for 8 years in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories serving the communities and all over the world.
After achieving an honorary role in my nutrition diploma program, I sought out other ways to help my clients who were stuck in the stress of their lives. A life coaching certification was the answer and this has proven to get clients from A to B faster and with better results. Luckily, fitness has always been in my life and I believe doing things you're passionate about builds a stronger business. Becoming certified as a personal trainer was a no-brainer.

What I love most about what I do is inspiring people to feel energetic, positive, and as incredible as they can through nutrition and exercise. I love teaching them how to make this part of their lifestyle and knowing how powerful they are over their mindset which dictates how far they'll go. Not one of them misses the person they used to be.Find me here:
