Today, we're tackling the tough topic of how entrepreneurship can freakin' SUCK sometimes...

As entrepreneurs, we often see the glamorous side of running a business on social media, with posts showcasing success, wealth, and freedom. However, the reality is that entrepreneurship comes with a significant amount of responsibility, sacrifice, and risk-taking. It's not always easy, and there are many highs and lows along the way.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of embracing the full picture of entrepreneurship, including the challenges and discomfort that come with it. We emphasize the need to acknowledge the responsibility that accompanies building a business and the importance of having a strong vision to guide you through the tough times.

We share personal anecdotes and practical tips for navigating the "sucky" seasons of entrepreneurship. From leaning on your support system and finding ways to blow off steam to prioritizing your physical and mental health, we highlight the importance of self-care and resilience in the face of adversity.

Ultimately, it's normal to face resistance and challenges in entrepreneurship. By staying true to your vision, seeking support from loved ones, and taking care of yourself, you can weather the storms and come out stronger on the other side.

Join us as we explore the real, raw side of entrepreneurship and provide insights and strategies to help you thrive in the face of adversity. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and together, we can overcome the sucky seasons and continue to grow and succeed in our businesses.

In this episode, we dove deep into the concept of authority building in the entrepreneurial space, but with a twist. We discussed the common misconception that authority is the KEY to success and respect in the online business world. Excessive focus on authority can actually stifle creativity and create barriers between entrepreneurs and their communities. By placing too much emphasis on authority, we risk becoming out of touch with our audience, which can hinder the trust-building process that is so crucial in today's skeptical online climate.

During the episode, we explored the unhealthy obsession with authority in the online space and how it can lead to an unhealthy business mindset. We shared personal experiences and insights on how striving to be perceived as an authority can lead to anxiety and a lack of authenticity. Being true to yourself and leading from a place of genuine power and confidence is much more important than trying to prove your worth through accolades and achievements. Besides, this obsession with authority can actually create a *disconnect* with our audience, as it can make us seem unapproachable and out of touch. Building trust and creating a brand presence that invites partnership and encourages connection is far more valuable than simply being SEEN as an authority figure.

To wrap up, we offered practical advice on how to build TRUST with your audience, which is the true cornerstone of a successful and impactful online presence. Being authentic, creating bridges to connection through understanding and empathy, and consistently showing up to display knowledge and expertise is the best way to build that trust. Focus on providing solutions and value for your audience rather than just showcasing your own achievements. By doing so, you can establish a genuine connection with your community, which is the foundation of a lasting and respected business legacy. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling empowered to embrace your unique identity and to build your businesses from a place of service and authenticity.

In this episode of Legacy Creator, we dove deep into the importance of authenticity and creativity in entrepreneurship, especially when it comes to your digital presence and marketing. We've begun to notice a shift in the entrepreneurial landscape - a shift towards a more genuine and innovative approach to business that aligns with your personal values and passions. And we believe that, as creative entrepreneurs, we have a duty to move beyond the constraints of traditional molds and frameworks, and learn how to fuse our unique identity and creativity into our marketing. Because THAT is how we'll ultimately cut through the noise and STAND OUT in the online space.

We shared our reflections on the past year and the changes we're anticipating for the new year, not just for ourselves but for the collective entrepreneurial community. We've noticed a craving for a new wave of entrepreneurship, one that prioritizes feeling ALIVE and ALIGNED in your work over merely fitting into pre-existing molds. We discussed our latest project, Vivid Creative, as an example of how we're embodying this shift in our own business. By sharing our journey, we hope to inspire YOU to do business differently and find joy and connection in your work.

And as always, we provided Action Items for you to help you stand out in the saturated online space. Get aligned with your vision, explore your unique style, and create content that comes from a deeper place within yourself. Move people with your content, create an emotional response, and develop a signature sound that's instantly recognizable. By doing so, we believe you can foster deeper connections with your customers, leading to lasting trust and, ultimately, growth for your business.

In the act of trying to please people, you abandon all that you are in order to fit into who others want you to be.

Today we're unpacking:
Why is people pleasing a problem?
What are you sacrificing by people pleasing?
Feeling guilty for NOT people pleasing
And more.

Not everyone will like you or want to work with you. And that's okay! We can't please EVERYONE, right? Let this be an opportunity to release the guilt or shame you might feel when you're NOT people pleasing. And let this be an opportunity to set better boundaries and prioritize YOUR sanity over everyone else's happiness. Because YOUR happiness and peace of mind matters, too.

Comparison distracts you from your power and amplifies your weakness by diverting your attention to another person’s strengths. It compels you to focus on all that you are NOT in light of all that someone else IS.

In this episode, we're unpacking:
- How comparison shows up
- Insecurity
- Identity
- How to disrupt the pattern of comparison

We're here to call you HIGHER. There is NO need to compare yourself, your work, or your business to anybody else's. YOU are already incredible and powerful in your own right. Never forget that.
