Permission Granted with Jessica Connery

Let’s talk about burnout for a second. It’s not something that just happens at once, it happens in small increments until one day, you just feel like your tank is completely empty. I have to admit that I’m in that right now. I even considered not recording this episode, you’ll hear why in just a few minutes. But I wanted to share this because if I’m going through it, then chances are someone else might be too. In this episode I talk about the way burnout creeped up on me, how I am dealing with it, and the 5 things I’m focusing on in 2020 to make sure I never feel this way again, because to be candid, it’s not fun and this vulnerability is something I don’t normally show to the world. You’re listening to episode number 11 of Permission Granted with Jessica Connery.

In this week’s episode I am speaking with Katherine Schwingel about what it feels like to realize what you thought was your lifetime career isn’t where you’re meant to be, how letting go of needing to meet other people’s expectations can result in personal happiness, and why you don’t need motivation when you’re doing what you love. Katherine is a branding photographer and stylist for creatives in Costa Mesa, CA. Kath is refreshingly enthusiastic and astute at creating meaningful relationships in her industry and with her clients and understands this is the key to her success. Kath has built her photography business by using her innate gift of styling and creating brand and product photos that tell the story of creative business owners in a way that let’s us feel like we’re part of their business. Kath’s ability to tell stories through the lens of her camera is astounding. Sooner or later you’ll love Kath as much as I do. You can find her online at www.katherineschwingel.com and on instagram @katherineschwingel. This is episode #6 of Permission Granted.

We are nothing more than our habits. What we do day in, and day out forms the results we get in our business and in our life. In this episode I'm spilling the 10 toxic business habits I made as I was growing my business, and see other creative business owners make far too often. If your business isn't where you want it to be, chances are you're making some of these mistakes. Get ready to make some changes and finally see the results you want in your business!

Things you'll learn:

• How to ask for the sale/job/opportunity.
• Why taking mini-breaks during your day is a good idea.
• How taking too long to make decisions adds unnecessary stress.

In this episode, I am speaking with Sarah Deshaw about what it feels like to transition your business from service-based to scaled, how letting go of a part of your identity is a part of that pivo, why out-sourcing, even when you can barely afford it, will pay you back tenfold, and why having expectations can sometimes limit you. Sarah, an online educator at SarahDeshaw.com, is delightfully intuitive and has a deep understanding of how being an entrepreneur gives us an inside look at ourselves that standard employment can’t provide. Sarah has built her digital business by focusing on her core zone of genius which is showing business owners what their business could look like by making changes to their process and strategies in order to create a business that allows them to live more freely.

Imposter syndrome can impact anyone. In this episode, I talk about how I push through imposter syndrome and how you can too!
