084: Tivona Elliott — Why Building the Business Comes Before Growing It

A behind-the-scenes conversation about why so many practitioners are trying to grow businesses that haven't yet been fully built—and why flexibility, validation, and learning your own business matter more than chasing the next strategy.In this episode, I'm joined by Tivona "Lady V" Elliott, a transformational leader and spiritual release coach who helps people release limiting beliefs, reconnect with their purpose, and create lasting transformation through her ROAR Method.What we explored:• Why startup businesses require a different approach than growth-stage businesses• The importance of positioning without skipping the foundation• Learning your own business instead of relying on someone else's blueprint• Rebuilding after major pivots, loss, and unexpected change• Why flexibility is one of the most valuable entrepreneurial skillsBuilding a practice isn't about finding the perfect roadmap. It's about learning how to continually refine, validate, and rebuild until your business truly fits both your work and the people you're here to serve.Tivona's links:→ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/LadyVenp Sophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍
