Published: June 23, 2022, 7:01 a.m.

b'How to ditch the golden handcuffs and create a life on your terms\\nAs a photographer, influencer, course creator, author, and host of the wildly popular Goal Digger podcast, Jenna Kutcher is one of the most talented content creators out there. I love and respect Jenna so much not only because she is a digital marketing extraordinaire, but she\\u2019s hands down one of the most grounded women that I know.\\xa0\\nAnd despite all of her success, what\\u2019s most impressive about Jenna is that her driving force has never really been about the hustle. She\\u2019s embraced the simple notion that we -- women especially -- crave a life of fulfillment, and has managed to create a life on her own terms while building an incredibly lucrative business.\\xa0\\nIt\\u2019s possible, friend, and Jenna is living proof.\\nNow normally when Jenna is on the show, we talk shop about all things online marketing (in fact, she recently joined me for an episode about how to launch a podcast \\u2013 check it out here if you missed it.)\\xa0\\nBut in this conversation, we talk about the things that are important in becoming a successful entrepreneur but all-too-often get overlooked \\u2013 like your sense of identity, whether or not your work is aligning with your values, and your purpose.\\xa0\\nOn paper, these things might not sound like a big deal, but trust me on this one -- they are -- and that\\u2019s why I am so excited to share this episode with you. In it, Jenna and I discuss:\\n\\nHow to take inventory of your life and what to do with the information that surfaces\\n\\nThe meaning of \\u2018golden handcuffs\\u2019 and how you can get out of them\\n\\nWhat to do if you feel like you\\u2019ve traded your 9 to 5 job for a 24/7 business\\n\\nHow to overcome the fear of asking for help when you need it most\\n\\nThe inspiration for her new book How Are You, Really?: Living Your Truth One Answer at a Time\\n\\n\\nSo whether you\\u2019re still in the throws of the 9 to 5 grind, have just started your business, or are an established online entrepreneur, this episode has something for everyone -- because in the end, I think it\\u2019s safe to say that we all desire the same thing -- to be fulfilled.\\nHere\\u2019s a glance at this episode...\\n\\n[06:07] Reframing is extremely powerful, and can be helpful when you find yourself fearful of something.\\n\\n[07:42] If you want to find ways to do more meaningful work, look at your calendar ahead and take a life inventory. Are you passionate about it? Does it align with your values? Does it bring you joy?\\xa0\\n\\n[10:38] Learn how to rest in the present outside of work, so that when you are in work-mode, you\\u2019re laser-focused.\\xa0\\n\\n[15:06] Golden handcuffs are benefits like unlimited vacation that make people feel stuck in the workplace. Do these really add value to your life?\\n\\n[19:28] Entrepreneurship can get you to a life of freedom and choice, but you have to have a "why" that\\u2019s stronger than your work.\\n\\n[24:24] The more you ask for help, the easier it becomes to ask for and receive it. Accept help if you want to live out your vision.\\n\\n[28:39] You never know when the power of your story will inspire someone else to keep showing up in their life. You could literally change someone\'s trajectory.\\n\\n[33:02] How Are You, Really?: Living Your Truth One Answer at a Time is Jenna\'s new book for women who are looking to come home to themselves.\\n\\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
