Sitting at the SHE Media collective table at this morning! Sadly had a really intense episode of fatigue yesterday that wiped me out for most of the day, but was able to get a few hours in.

After such a rough go these past few years I’m so refreshed and relieved to be rediscovering my spark for this work, and make some plans on how RaquelHellengaCoachingLLC 2.0 is going to look.

There’s no wrong way to be an entrepreneur. I’m grateful for learning that lesson in an even deeper way.

"Your success is inevitable, if you just don’t quit. ​
​
When I was first starting my business, this got me through the first year +. ​
​
No matter how slow or messy you need to be, simply not quitting is the only ingredient you really need to prove the naysayers wrong."​
​
I hope you didn't miss this article with Authority Magazine as part of their feature on “dreamers who ignored the naysayers and did what others said was impossible.”​
​
I share 5 strategies that people can use to harness the sense of tenacity and do what naysayers think is impossible. ​ ​
​
I know you'll find it inspiring and exactly what you need as you do the impossible (whatever that means to you) this year.​

I recently had the opportunity to ask David Meltzer what would his best advice be for those with chronic illnesses who simply can't "hustle harder" when it comes to navigating the long game of entrepreneurship.

I found his response super insightful and helpful...I hope you do as well!

Just because you have to do it differently doesn’t mean you can’t do it.

An Interview With Candice Georgiadis

For every idea you have that is deemed “impossible”, there are at least five other people who have done something even crazier. ​
​
“Impossibility” is all about perception, and our perceptions are based on our experiences. For every person that tells you something is impossible, there are a handful of people who would tell you you’re not dreaming big enough and who have the accomplishments to back that. Ambition is relative. “When we argue for our limitations, we get to keep them.” — Evelyn Waugh​

In case you missed it, or haven't read it yet - I was featured in Authority Magazine's series about “dreamers who ignored the naysayers and did what others said was impossible." ​

"The movement I am actively pushing through my business is that one size does not fit all. So often, success gurus assert that there is one, right way to do things, and the prevalence of this philosophy kills the dreams and ideas of so many people who don’t fit the mold before they even get started. ​
​
If we all believed that we could have what we wanted and create the impact we desired in the world in our own way, the world would be so much richer, happier, and self-actualized."​
​
ICYMI, I was featured in Authority Magazine's series on "dreamers who ignored the naysayers and did what others said was impossible"!​
​
Check out what I had to say about what makes my business stand out from the crowd, how I proved the naysayers wrong, and what experiences I had growing up that contributed to building resiliency.​

🔥They told me it was impossible and I did it anyway 🔥

I had the pleasure of speaking with Candice Georgiadis as part of Authority Magazine's series about "dreamers who ignored the naysayers and did what others said was impossible."

I am SO excited to share this feature with you!

I share what made me start my business, the role trauma healing work/therapy/coaching/mindset work played in my business development, and the five strategies you can use to do what 'they' say is impossible.

A truly authentic business isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential to long-term, sustainable, and scalable success beyond your wildest dreams. 🍃🤍

It can feel so dangerous to bring your authentic self into business.

To make the money you want to make, within the hours you want to work, doing things in ways no one else is.

To do things differently.

To write your own handbook.

It's why I created the Unleash Your Authentic Business Virtual Retreat, happening this weekend.

Together, we will unlock the foundational authentic business building blocks that will help you create a business that serves you and your target audience for years to come.

We’ll do this by identifying and digging deep on internalized -isms and limiting beliefs impacting how you run your business; getting them out of your system; and helping you craft a plan that is 100% authentic to you, so you can move forward without all of the frustration.

If you're all in and ready to show up authentically in your business, there's a spot for you.

There’s this misconception that we need to be different than we are right now in order to be successful.​
​
That in order to run a successful business or be a better mom/partner/friend, we need to change our natural traits and achieve certain goals.​
​
That's because the modern workplace is still wrought with influences from outdated philosophies in full effect - aka - it wasn't made for you. So you became an entrepreneur to create your own path to success.​
​
ICYMI, I created the Unleash Your Authentic Business Virtual Retreat, to address this very issue.​
​
In it, you'll:​
👉 Identify Inauthenticity​
You'll get to identify some of the core inauthentic influences that may be secretly running your business (and spoiler alert; life in general).​
👉 Dig Deeper​
Dig even deeper on your findings and start the process of purging those influences from your life and business.​
👉 Rebuild​
Return to the foundation of your business and rebuild one that is truly aligned and authentic to you.​
👉 Emerge Victorious​
You'll leave with mind-blowing clarity, practices to address your new findings, and a plan for how to proceed with your new breakthroughs.​
​
We start this Friday. ​ Replays are available if you can't make all three days.​
​
I'm curious, do you have an idea of your ideal self? ​ How is she different than the person reading this?​

"I'm not the greatest boss to myself."​
​
If you’re miserable in your own business, it’s because you’re running it using a handbook that you didn’t write. ​
​
This is why I created the Unleash Your Authentic Business Virtual Retreat, happening THIS Friday.​
​
Together, we will unlock the foundational authentic business building blocks that will help you create a business that serves you and your target audience for years to come. ​
​
We’ll do this by:​
✨ identifying and digging deep on internalized -isms and limiting beliefs impacting how you run your business​
✨ getting them out of your system​
✨ helping you craft a plan that is 100% authentic to you, so you can move forward without all of the frustration. ​
​
A few short years ago, I, too, started a business to create the impact and income I desired. ​
​
I created a framework that helped people start and scale businesses that were authentic to their needs.​
​
Since then, I’ve opened up my business to serve all kinds of entrepreneurs who desire ease, authenticity, and impact in their business journeys. ​
​
✨ A truly authentic business isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential to long-term, sustainable, and scalable success beyond your wildest dreams. ✨​
