Your First Business Won’t Be Your Last: Stacey Hagen on Reinvention and Real Alignment

Ever feel like the first version of your business isn’t quite it — but you don’t know what “it” is yet? In this episode of Marketing Your Way, Anastasiia sits down with Stacey Hagen, a certified holistic business coach and marketing consultant, to talk about the messy, brave, and ultimately rewarding journey of evolving your business until it feels aligned. After starting out as a life coach, Stacey slowly transitioned into business coaching — and eventually found her true zone of genius supporting entrepreneurs with both mindset and marketing. This conversation is packed with real talk on growth, pivots, and letting your business evolve with you. We cover: Why your first version of a business is just a starting point What it really looked like for Stacey to shift from life coaching to business strategy How to market yourself authentically when you’re still figuring it out Ways to transition out of corporate without burning bridges The mindset shifts required to stop thinking like an employee You’ll also hear Stacey’s smart tip about creating an “Independence Fund” while still employed — and how she used part-time contracting to ease the leap.
