Pausing & Pivoting: An update on life & business

Hello, my beautiful introvert friend! It's been a while, and I'm thrilled to be back sharing updates on life and my path of gentle business. If you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, or disenchanted, especially in the online space, grab a cup of tea and hang out with me.In this episode I share the messy and beautiful journey of doing business differently. Driving this is the desire to stay true to my voice, purpose and nature as an introvert. I'll give you a glimpse into my unconventional path, including taking a break in Brazil, pausing my marketing, getting a Director of Operations certification, and working at a bakery - all as part of a strategy to do business my way.In this experimental phase, I'm following what feels aligned and regenerative. This means questioning the status quo and finding my own path based on values & inner knowing. I see all of this as an example of redefining how we work and it’s just the beginning! ……………………………………..Resources I mention:My Regenerative Business Planning: Create an annual business plan so that you know exactly what to do to reach your goals in a way that fits your values, energy & gentle way of being.Learn more: soundwebsolutions.net/planExcerpts from the Episode“Creating a regenerative business is like making art - being messy is just part of the process.”LinksListen & review: Podchaser.com/empoweredintrovertInstagram: instagram.com/heidi.jandelFacebook: facebook.com/hjweilandYouTube: youtube.com/@heidijandel
