Some rules in business are worth following… but others? Not so much. In this episode of the Introvertpreneur Podcast, I’m sharing the 3 big “golden rules” of online business I intentionally break. These shifts not only made my business more sustainable, but they also made it feel more aligned with my introverted energy.
If you’ve ever felt pressured to be everywhere online, post endlessly, or launch non-stop, this conversation will give you full permission to step off the hamster wheel and build your business differently.
