122. Stop Chasing the Next Level: What Building a Business on Your Own Terms Actually Looks Like w/ Alyssa Schneider

Ever feel like you're supposed to niche down, pick one platform, and follow the "right" growth path, but none of it actually feels right for you?In this episode, I'm joined by Alyssa Schneider, operations strategist and founder of Creating Freedom Agency. Alyssa has had one of the most genuinely interesting business paths I've come across, from psychology grad to struggling healer, to VA, to OBM, to running a full agency, and she has some really refreshing takes on how to build a business that actually fits you.We talk about what it means to niche by values instead of industry, the identity shifts that come with every big pivot, and what it really looked like to bring a team in front of clients for the first time. We also get into a mindset reframe that I think you should literally write down.Key Points Covered: ✨ Niching by values instead of industry✨ Identity shifts that come with every pivot✨ "I trust myself to figure it out", the mindset that builds resilience✨ Using a psychology background to do human-first operations work✨ Introducing your team to clients when it doesn't go smoothly✨ Treating your business like your VIP client✨ Knowing your stopping point, and why that's a power move🎙️ Connect with Alyssa: WebsiteInstagramThreadsGrab your Free SOP TemplateSend us Fan MailFor VAs & OBMs turning expertise into a signature method and a business that pays for outcomes, not hours.BOOK A FREE BUSINESS AUDITFree 45-min call.
