69. Book review - Chillpreneur

How it relates to running a balloon business as a solopreneur

This book by Denise Duffield-Thomas really connected with me. In fact, I love everything she puts out. 

 

Not only do I love the business mindset she encourages, but the book has tons of practical tips (like what to say in awkward pricing conversations, for example). She also does such a good job of connecting your home life with your business life, which I find so unique, and so valuable as a solopreneur.

 

In this episode, I'll describe some of my key takeaways, including how I'm implementing her "Keyless Life" approach, money decisions (both professional and personal), how to keep forward focus and how (and why) to believe in yourself as a business owner. 

 

I believe this book has something in it for everybody, and I can't recommend it enough. Listen in to hear how it might help you!
