Today is one of those interviews where as soon as I hit the stop button on the recording, I was like, I cannot wait to share this with you all.Joining me on today’s podcast—today is part one and next week is part two—is Kim Wensel.Kim believes we are more than our job titles. For over twelve years she’s helped organizations and individuals find meaning in their work and build a connection with others through data storytelling, copywriting, and personal branding.Today she leads her own firm, Pattern of Purpose, where she advises entrepreneurs on how to communicate who they are and what they believe—on stage, on page, and in person.In our discussion between today and next week, we’re talking about how to focus on what makes you happy, and still be able to make money in the process. Many of us think, “Well, I can’t do this just because it makes me happy in my business, because I don’t know if that’s going to make me money. It’s going to make me happy, but I don’t know how successful it’s going to be.” Then we lean so far the other way and only focus on the things that we know are going to move the business forward.Well, I want to help you begin to find the line between the two and focus more on what makes you happy, because that’s what is going to help you grow your business and increase your profit.So, we talk about a whole host of topics between today and next week. That’s why I wanted to break it down into two parts. They’re going to revolve around the concept of showing up as your authentic self and using your talents in an authentic way that lights you up, and then watching the benefits that come as a result of you doing that.In this episode, you’ll learn:How to get past the awkwardness of promoting yourselfWhy you need a clear understanding of what “success” means to youThe dangers of merging your personal identity with your businessWhy you need to celebrate your achievements moreThe benefits of doing something because you want to instead of have toLinks & Resources:Riverside.fm10XPRODM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clipsThe Art of Online Business websiteThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.
