I didn't grow a multi-six figure business because I changed my offers. I did it because I changed how I held my business—and myself.In this episode, I'm walking you through the real, unglamorous shifts that helped me go from a 150K year to consistent 20K months in private coaching—before ever switching to a group model. These are the exact mindset, nervous system, and identity shifts I've seen take people out of business if they don't happen.And I get it. In 2021, I expected the success of my first six-figure year to continue. What I didn't realize was that without healing, support, and emotional maturity, I couldn't hold it. I got isolated, overstimulated, and my undiagnosed ADHD left me stuck in shame. But everything changed in the last 2 months of that year—and I want to show you what made that shift possible.You'll hear me talk about:What allowed me to go from 70K in 10 months… to 80K in 2Why therapy and emotional processing—not just mindset work—kept me in businessHow shame and hyper-independence can sound logical but sabotage your growthWhy getting a job isn't a failure, and how I reframed safetyThe moment I stopped asking my business to rescue me from my feelingsSix shifts that changed my leadership, capacity, and revenue foreverIf you're stuck, rushing, or on the edge of burnout… this episode is your lifeline.Work with me: → Apply for private coaching.

Dr. Julie Wilson is a physician-entrepreneur on a mission to rebuild primary care from the inside out — not just for patients, but for the doctors who serve them. As the Founder and CEO of Terra Nova Medical Clinics, she's leading the largest and fastest-growing physician-led network in British Columbia, bringing a modern, collaborative, and tech-forward model of healthcare to a system that's long been stuck in the past. Frustrated by the outdated setups she saw across BC — single-doc offices, paper records, no cross-coverage — Julie built her first clinic in 2015 with a bold vision: integrated teams, cloud-based systems, and a structure that puts both providers and patients first. While many clinics shut their doors during the pandemic, she doubled down, scaling Terra Nova from one location serving 25,000 patients to a thriving network of seven clinics serving over 50,000. Her approach blends medical excellence with compassion, ethical leadership, fair pay, career progression, and continuity of care — creating a blueprint for how primary care should work. Named to Canada's Top 100 Most Powerful Women and 40 Under 40, she's also a healthcare advocate working to fix Canada's physician shortage by mentoring international medical grads and influencing policy through her role with Doctors of BC. Some of the topics we discussed were: The future of physician-led clinics and how they're changing primary care deliveryCreating a connected and inclusive network of clinics that function as one organizationDelivering better clinic outcomes, more access, and career progression for staffThe operational and cultural/human challenges of scaling a multi-site medical businessHow technology and leadership intersect to improve healthcare outcomes How Dr. Wilson went from running a single family clinic to leading a multi-site medical businessHow Dr. Wilson got into the business world with building her own clinicDr. Wilson's process of starting her own clinicHow Dr. Wilson moved from her building first clinic to having multipleLessons learned and mistakes to avoid in building a network of clinicsRecommendations for people who are just starting their own clinicThe unique structure of Dr. Wilson's clinic model that makes it stand out from the restHow to foster a working environment with great teamworkHow to find good people who want to help you help your community And more!Learn more about me or schedule a FREE coaching call:https://www.joyfulsuccessliving.com/Join the Voices of Women Physicians Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/190596326343825/Connect with Dr. Wilson: Dr. Julie Wilson:https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-wilson-4a25b4214/Terra Nova Medical Clinics:https://www.linkedin.com/company/terra-nova-medical-clinics/

This episode takes me back to the early days of Neat Apparel, when Claudio and I were just getting started. For those who don't know, Claudio is my business partner on Neat - our sweat-proof Shopify brand and he has one of the most fascinating backgrounds of anyone I've ever worked with.He graduated from Stanford at 20. Climbed to the top of Wall Street. Then pivoted into entrepreneurship—first with a soccer brand, and now with me in performance apparel. In this conversation, we talked through the moment we decided to go all in on Neat.We broke down the actual negotiations that brought us together, why we decided to buy IP before launching, and how we thought about scaling the brand through content, storytelling, and founder alignment. Looking back, it's wild to see how much of that conversation still shapes how we run Neat today.

Have you ever hesitated to invest in yourself because it felt selfish… irresponsible… or “too much”?You're not alone.As women, we've been conditioned to spend money on our kids, our homes, or quick fixes that make us feel better for a moment — but rarely create lasting change. We've been taught to give to everyone else first, and to believe we should be able to do it all on our own.But here's the truth: it's never really about the money. It's about belief. Belief in yourself. Belief that you'll follow through. Belief that you're worth it.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why saying yes to yourself is the most powerful (and least selfish) investment you can ever makeThe difference between a consumer mindset and an investor mindset — and how one keeps you stuck while the other sets you freeHow most of us are already spending money to cope, but rarely investing in ways that create a return on our time, energy, confidence, and incomeThe story of the very first time I invested in myself (and why it terrified me)… and how that single choice changed the trajectory of my life and businessHow to reframe the belief from “I can't” to “I MUST” — and step into the identity of the woman who backs her desires with actionBecause here's the thing: not investing in yourself has the highest cost of all. Every time you say no to yourself, you're saying yes to staying the same.It's time to flip the script. You are your best investment. Period.

Unlocking Identity, Mindset, and Service-Driven Growth with Paul Tembunde of Premier DestinyIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge talks with Paul Tembunde, Co-founder and CEO of Premier Destiny. Drawing on over two decades of experience in the home care industry and his journey as a transformational coach, Paul shares how shifting your identity, cultivating a growth mindset, and building a service-focused business can lead to true personal and professional fulfillment. If you're looking to rediscover your purpose and align your work with your calling, this episode offers real strategies to help unlock your highest potential.Identity Shifting and the Power of Knowing Who You ArePaul emphasizes that your identity is not your job title, your past, or your current situation—it's the self-image you hold and the beliefs you carry about what's truly possible. He encourages entrepreneurs and professionals alike to regularly self-reflect, ask meaningful questions, and challenge limiting definitions of success. This process of "identity auditing" is central to Paul's coaching approach and helps uncover blind spots that often hold people back from stepping into their greatness.A strong growth mindset, according to Paul, means rejecting victimhood and embracing your power to create change. He recommends replacing limiting self-talk with empowering questions, surrounding yourself with growth-oriented people, and always staying curious. Paul also stresses the importance of identifying your "zone of genius"—the unique intersection of your passions, natural strengths, and ability to serve others. When work aligns with this zone, it becomes deeply fulfilling.As someone who built a thriving home care business with his wife, Paul shares how delegation was key to scaling. Letting go of tasks outside their core strengths allowed them to focus on strategy and growth. Today, Paul helps others enter and succeed in the booming home care industry, and continues coaching professionals through Premier Destiny. At the core of his message is this: fulfillment comes not from chasing profit, but from using your gifts in service of others.About Paul TembundePaul Tembunde is the Co-founder and CEO of Premier Destiny and a transformational coach with 23+ years in the home care industry. He helps entrepreneurs unlock their potential by guiding them through identity shifting, mindset development, and purpose-driven service.About Premier DestinyPremier Destiny is a coaching and consulting company that empowers individuals to discover their true identity, live with intention, and build purpose-driven businesses.
