Oh, the hustle. We hear it all the time - you have to work hard to win big, but make sure you have work-life balance, and don't forget about self care, and la;ksdjf;oicuxfewr. And which messages are we supposed to take to heart? The ones that tell us to chill the eff out or the ones that tell us we have to go all in and work our tails off to become successful in this world? Both. And neither.  This week on the podcast, I sat down with small business strategist and coach for creative entrepreneurs, Cyndie Spiegel, to talk about the hustle - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Cyndie at I met at ALT in January (and we'll both be back there to speak next month!) and hit it off immediately. I adore her and knew that she had to be on the show.  We also talked about the leap and the net will appear adage, how to know it's time to make a change, boundaries, and what stepping up your game really looks like for most creative entrepreneurs. If you're interested in making a change in your life or have been feeling a pull towards something bigger for yourself, this episode is for you! It's also for you if you're tired of feeling overwhelmed in your business and are wondering when the next chapter is going to start.  Cyndie. You are such a treat and it was an absolute pleasure to have you on the show! I can't wait to toast you in person next month!  **100 Rejection Letters** - Registration open through 10/31/16 Show Notes: Connect with Cyndie: Website | Instagram  The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo the skimm What Freedom Is (and Isn't) - my blog post where I ask if you really want a business or just need a vacation
