On today’s podcast episode I want to take you on my journey to becoming a joyful CEO. One of the things that I've learned in my journey to CEO is that we don't have to be stressed, stuck in burnout in constantly working hard, to grow a successful business that is aligned with our desires. Our biology makes it easy to fall into these thoughtless patterns that we do not even recognize we are engaged in. Sometimes these patterns are very easily habituated without our awareness because of long forgotten past experiences. One of the things that was a valuable lesson I learned in my years of the anesthesia, is to identify what it is that you don't know so that you can know it because lives were are the line.  I knew that there were things that I did not know about being a business owner. Once I knew those things, I realized I want to be more than a hypnosis practitioner with a business, I wanted to be an entrepreneur. Then I learned about this thing called a CEO mindset. I stumbled across someone that told me that hard work does not equal money. I continued on this path of reframing my own beliefs of using hypnosis as my own tool to release limiting beliefs, to create new habits, to allow myself to be open to the idea that I can have a successful business, a joyful business without working all the time. Most struggling entrepreneurs and business leaders at all levels of success sometimes have similar thoughts and beliefs. These patterns originate in the subconscious at different levels of success, they manifest differently, but it all boils down to some of the same similar beliefs. On this podcast, I am going to bring my 25 years of nursing and anesthesia experience, six years as a board certified hypnotist and my real life experiences of my own CEO journey to a multi six figure business to help you design your destiny. I am going to bring you actionable and thought-provoking episodes, so that on a subconscious level, you can align with your desires. You will become aware of how the subconscious influences your ability to move forward in business with a feeling of peace in ease, allowing things to just come to you, to be able to focus, have clarity, and make decisions without that constant underlying hesitation or tension
