Many of us have created our own businesses to give us freedom from the lifestyle we were formerly living… But there is a key to creating a business that offers you that freedom- and it's all in our mindset. Today's guest, Emily Williams is a success coach, entrepreneur, and author with a seven-figure business who, at one point, couldn't get a job at Starbucks. After experiencing a quarter life crisis, she moved from Ohio to London (where she knew no one!) and in 2014 launched her business, I Heart My Life. She made $442 in her first month—and then went on to hit six figures in six months, before her 30th birthday. She grew it to seven figures in under 18 months. Today, she works with female entrepreneurs all over the world, helping them bust through the obstacles that hold their dreams and goals hostage so they can free themselves to live the lives they want, build their own online business and hit their money goals. She's been featured in Money, Entrepreneur, Business Insider, Forbes and Success Magazine.
