Ep 1 - Career or a Business? What's Right For You?

Inspiring Women in Business

In this episode, I talk about the beginning questions that you have to ask yourself when you are deciding what path to take in your career. So ask yourself questions to help you decide if you will be working full-time, as a freelancer, or as a business owner. I also talk about how your mindset plays a big role in how we show up. Join me for this first in many valuable podcasts made available to inspire women to play bigger in business!

Key takeaways from this episode:

• How you perceive yourself will also affect how your clients see you as well.
• The label you choose to represent yourself can have a massive impact on how others see you.
• It’s really important to take time to reflect on what is best for you, what you want to plan to do, and why you think these are important.
• How you see yourself and how you see your potential can come down to confidence and mindset.
• The two different mindsets (10:03)
• Questions to ask yourself to guide you in deciding your next steps (14:01)

More about Ruth:

Hi, I’m Ruth, a business coach specializing in helping freelancers and business owners adjust their mindset and their marketing so they can get fully booked with clients they LOVE to work with. I’ve helped hundreds of self-employed women achieve the time and money freedom they craved.

I’ve started this podcast because when I first went all in and left the corporate world to be a freelancer, I was grateful for any work that came my way. After over 20 years of freelancing and working for other people, I started to realize I’d created a glass ceiling for myself.

It was in 2017 when I finally started listening to that voice that had been telling me for a long time that I wasn’t doing what I loved and fulfilling my true potential. It took a critical illness to give me that wake-up call. I don’t want the same to happen to you.

You can expect practical advice, inspiring stories, and a lot of aha moments as we uncover and kick to the curb all the obstacles you have been putting in your way.

I’m on a mission to inspire women to start and play bigger in business.
