Why In-Person Connections Changed Everything for This Burnout Survivor

Ever felt like nobody in your “real life” understands what you do as an online course creator? Discover why hopping on a plane after years of isolation might be the reset button your business needs. 🚀

After battling burnout, scaling back my team, and feeling increasingly isolated in my online business, I took the leap to attend Alt Summit in Palm Springs—despite nearly talking myself out of it. The result? A complete mindset shift about how we measure success, show up online, and prioritize ourselves as business owners.

If you've been feeling like you're building your empire alone or questioning whether in-person events are worth the investment (both financially and emotionally), this episode reveals why stepping away from your computer might be exactly what your business needs to thrive.

“When I decided it was time to get back on the metal horse, the airplane, and hang out with some people IRL for a while, that was a big decision. But sometimes ROI shouldn't be measured in revenue.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why measuring ROI solely in revenue might be holding your business back from true growth
  • Reframe the exhausting pressure of “authenticity” with 8 alternative approaches that actually serve your audience better
  • Learn how prioritizing time for yourself teaches others resilience while filling your own cup
  • Uncover the unexpected benefits of connecting with others who truly understand your business challenges
  • Apply three actionable strategies to implement these mindset shifts in your business immediately

Grab your favorite drink, find a quiet spot, and let's dive into the real talk about what it takes to build a sustainable freedom empire. ☕️
