About this episode
In this episode, Stephanie Finigan discusses the challenges of growing a business while managing a full-time job and family, sharing her mindset strategy for achieving goals flexibly.
What does it really look like to grow a business or passion project while juggling a full-time job, family, and everyday life? In this episode, the second in the Notes from an Entrepreneur series, I share a core mindset strategy I use while building my business in real time: committing firmly to my goals while staying flexible in how I reach them. I pull back the curtain on missing a recent revenue goal and how I reframed it as valuable data instead of failure. If you're trying to build something meaningful alongside the rest of your life, this episode will give you a practical and realistic way to stay consistent, adaptable, and moving forward.
