And the success she thought would bring fulfillment came with heavier sacrifices.We talked about the reality of scaling—something no one tells you:The emotional weight of running a fast-growing businessThe trade-offs you have to make to sustain the growthThe personal sacrifices no one seesIt's not the fairy tale of overnight success. It's what happens when the business you built begins to own you instead of the other way around.Here's what Lara realized:Scaling doesn't fix everything; it amplifies everything.You have to stay in control of your systems—because if you don't, they'll control you.The most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who constantly refine, adapt, and make space to breathe.If you're chasing seven figures, ask yourself:Are you building something that works for you?Or something that will consume you?This podcast is the most personal, raw, and honest conversation we've had.It's about what really happens behind the scenes of success—and what it takes to get your life back while keeping the growth.Connect with Lara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laraacostar/(00:00) Preview(01:25) Embracing the Girl Boss Persona(02:20) Challenges of Personal Branding for Women(04:17) The Power of Specialization(07:18) The Artist's Dilemma: Creativity vs. Productivity(09:28) Recognizing Personal Growth(10:21) Impact of Confidence in Entrepreneurship(15:43) The Ego Trap in Storytelling(17:28) Why Podcasts Are The Future(20:51) Overcoming Alcohol and Finding Clarity(25:20) The Power of Fitness and Discipline(28:26) The Reality of Online Businesses(30:52) Persuasion vs. Manipulation in Marketing(32:15) The Problem with Generic Cold DMs(33:39) Discord, Crypto, and the Power of Memes(39:51) Spirituality, Religion and Internal Work(44:23) Why Every Business Needs Content(45:26) The Science behind Manifestation(50:36) Developing a Business Mindset(53:10) Experimenting with Psychedelics (58:20) Realizations on Seeking Validation(01:00:49) Parental & Societal Expectations(01:10:28) Lara Acosta's Social Media Strategy (01:17:52) Relocating and Gaining Personal freedom(01:24:28) Designing your Dream LifeSupport the show
