Episode 146 – Jean Hamilton-Fford – Talking Oversized Mugs Then Meet My What & Why…

How To Shift From A Hobby To A Business with Jean Hamilton-Fford For people who are passionate about helping others, seeing their business as a hobby is a norm. This way of thinking is rooted in the idea that they are helping to make the world a better place. However, this mindset can lead to a lack of motivation and understanding of your value and that of your business. Shifting your focus to seeing your business as a business can help you feel significant and share your product powerfully with impact.  Your value is priceless, and you’re the product of your business. If you’re not supporting yourself, you need to put it into gears. Give yourself permission to make money, and it will be easier for you to value what you do and be more motivated in doing it. Join the conversation today with Jean Hamilton-Fford. Jean is a speaker, author, mentor, communications strategist, and Awake TV Host. She brings over 40 years of experience in business to her work, and she works with people from Australia to Oregon and from Denmark to India through her business, Heart and Soul People. Referred to by her clients as ‘The Great Nudger,’ Jean is an active listener, compassionate in her approach, and direct and forensic in her questioning. She helps business owners increase their impact and influence and make more money through the power of language and communication. Tune in!
