The Midlife Entrepreneur: Turning Crisis into Opportunity

This year I turned the big 40.No big deal.Or so I thought.But after the birthday celebrations ended I felt off.Really off.Like something was wrong.Or missing.But what?I created all those things my younger adult self wanted…the career, the house, the relationship, the money, the travel.Enter midlife crisis. Or as I like to call it midlife re-evaluation.Many people go through some variation of a 'midlife crisis' usually between the ages of 35-65. The timing is different for each of us and it may be associated with a major life event such as having children, children leaving the nest, a change in relationship, a change in career, a move, the death of a loved one, etc.For me, this restlessness started in the past two years, but hit really hard this year.It felt like I was being forced to re-evaluate my life and take note of how I was showing up and what was working and what wasn’t working so well…yes, this means in my relationships, health and career/purpose/fulfillment.It felt like a call to take full responsibility for the results (or lack of results) I create in all areas of my life and to be VERY intentional about what I focus on and how I spend my time and energy in the second half of my life...and a huge nudge to leave behind any 'self-sabotaging' behavior that was stopping me from being my best self and creating my best life.In this week’s podcast, I share more about my experiences navigating my ‘midlife crisis’ and the realizations I’ve had. I also share how we can use this experience to help us build a purposeful and fulfilling business that leaves the world a better place…and do it in a way that feels aligned...this is so important!Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to consistent coaching clients as an introvert: https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business...and become your very best self and build your most magical life :), you can find out more about working with me here: https://kristinhartjes.com/apply/
