The lottery question that proves if you’re in the wrong career 💸


Hi Reader,

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy it is to get comfortable in situations that don’t actually make us happy. Before I started my own business, I was laid off from my corporate job. At the time it felt terrifying, but looking back, it was the exact push I needed to stop settling for being “miserable 40 hours a week”.

​
If you’ve been feeling a nudge that there is something bigger meant for you, you are going to love my latest podcast guest. I sat down with Camille L. Miller, a phenomenal author who has built an entire movement around helping professionals transition from corporate stability to their true soul alignment.

​
Camille is the author of a brilliant three-book series called The Ultimate Guide to Soul Professional Success, and our conversation is packed with incredible advice for business owners, leaders, and aspiring authors alike.

​
​In this episode, we dive into:

  • Mapping out a book series: How Camille knew from the start she was writing a trilogy and how she structured each book to match a specific phase of business growth.
  • The Alignment Check: A simple mindset exercise to uncover what you actually want your life and lifestyle to look like.
  • Scaling without the grind: The common marketing and hiring mistakes entrepreneurs make in years 2 through 10, and how to keep your heart aligned while making more money.
  • Writing in public: How Camille is using Substack to share essays from her upcoming fourth book, The Rise of the Soul Professional, to see exactly what resonates with her readers before publishing.

One of my favorite quotes from Camille during our chat was this:

“Everyone leaves a legacy. So you might as well be intentional about it, because you’re leaving one anyway.”

​
Whether you want to build a business, write a book that shares your methodology, or simply start a side hustle, this episode will give you the strategy and permission to start building it now.
