274. Are you building a business (or career) you *actually* love? ...or are you trapped in a cage you built yourself?
In this episode, I’m unpacking:✔️ Why we literally live in the cage we’ve built for ourselves.✔️ The small, daily choices that shape your long-term success (whether you realize it or not).✔️ How to operate in a way that works for you, not just the way you’ve been told to.✔️ A behind-the-scenes look at my own business model - my revenue streams, how I structure my work, and why it’s all built around my personal preferences.If you’ve ever felt stuck in how you work, this episode is for you.Other episodes mentioned:Self honesty219 - Business pivots, adhd and creating freedom Making real progress Books from the Inner Work Business Book Club* The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson – particularly page 68-69 on how small daily choices compound over time.* Effortless by Greg McKeown – referencing Patrick McGuinness’s story on changing his "yes-es" in business due to health issues and how it led to better work and pay.📚 Join the Inner Work Business Book Club: https://www.thrivewithnikkicross.co.uk/bookclub#joinbookclub💡 Want Coaching & Support?🔹 The Inner Work Club – My signature coaching space where you’ll go beyond productivity hacks and actually get clarity on what you want and how to create it.* Workshops like Zoom Out, Connect to Yourself, and Plan Like a Human help you structure your time, energy, and business in a way that actually works for you.* Join HERE 🔹 The Leadership Clinic – If you want to actually get leadership right in your business, this is where I help companies implement people management frameworks, coaching, and leadership development that works.* Find out more: https://www.thrivewithnikkicross.co.uk/the-leadership-clinic🔹 1:1 Coaching & Get Unstuck Calls – Need deep-dive coaching to get clarity, make decisions, and move forward?
