Christine offers a refreshing perspective on entrepreneurship, growth, self-awareness, and the importance of questioning the stories we tell ourselves about what success should look like.Key TakeawaysSometimes the biggest entrepreneurial leap isn't starting a business–it's knowing when to leave one.You don't need to wait until you're completely burned out before making a change.Growth for the sake of growth doesn't always lead to fulfillment.Many entrepreneurs become trapped by conditioning and expectations that no longer align with their values.Self-trust is one of the most important skills founders can develop.Fear often disguises itself as many other emotions, including excitement and uncertainty.Boredom and quiet reflection are powerful tools for improving clarity, creativity, and decision-making.Meditation isn't about eliminating thoughts; it's about strengthening your attention and awareness.Information overload and constant distractions are contributing to burnout and decision fatigue.Asking yourself, "Is this true, or is it a story I'm telling myself?" can unlock powerful personal and professional growth.Guest & Host Information:Guest, Christine Manning, Business and Mindset CoachCo-Host, Ashlan Glazier-Anderson, Owner of AshbeanPDX MarketingCo-Host, Victoria (Tory) Proppe, Owner of Imagine Marketing StrategiesConnect with Christine:Visit her website: https://christine-manning.mykajabi.com/ Find her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.christinemanning/ Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinemanning/ Connect with us:On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaketheLeap-Today On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taketheleap_today Find Ashlan on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://www.instagram.com/ashbeanpdxmktg https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashlan-glazier-anderson Find Tory on Instagram & LinkedIn https://www.instagram.com/imaginemarketingstrategies https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriaproppe Like our content?
