I read a post by Ramit Sethi a couple of months ago, and the question he posed to his audience was: What are some subtle signs of wealth? The comments that flooded in were hilarious and so on point. My favorite one was: Using an iPhone without a screen protector or protective casing.It made me laugh because it's such a small thing, but it says so much. It speaks to an ease or confidence that comes with a certain level of financial security. The idea that you don't have to worry about something breaking, or even care if it does. It's a form of freedom we all want.That post inspired today's episode that is titled: The Subtle Signs of Owning a Business That Can Run Without You. These aren't flashy, obvious signs that scream, "Look how well I've set up my business!" but rather, they're those subtle shifts that speak volumes about your role in the business and the systems you've set up to support you.

Now, imagine this—you've set a goal, maybe it's to increase your revenue by 25% next year, and you've decided to introduce a new subscription model. It's exciting, right? You're motivated. But then, almost immediately, your brain starts serving up resistance. It says things like, “What if no one wants this?” or “Is this really worth the effort?” Sound familiar?This is the point where a lot of us get stuck. Our brain freaks out and offers LOTS of resistance, because pursuing a goal requires change. It requires growth. And growth, to our brain, feels like danger. And then, because we don't know what to do with this resistance, we talk ourselves out of some pretty good ideas and keep ourselves from achieving our goals.In this episode, we're going to talk about how to work with your brain, instead of fighting against it so you can achieve more of what you want with less mind drama.You can grab the full show notes and any resources mentioned during the episode HERELink to Music Credits Track: Positive MotivationAuthor: AShamaluevMusic (ASM)Publisher: CD Baby (IPI 700570289)Connect With Ilonka On Social MediaInstagram | Facebook | YouTube
