𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑩𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝑪𝑬𝑶: 𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒐𝒎 There’s a common misconception that becoming a CEO or starting your own business automatically grants you financial freedom and endless free time. While this can be true down the road, the journey to get there is anything but easy. Based on my conversation with Abdelrahman Fathalla the founder of Guillam Coffee House here is the reality: 👉 Carrying the weight of responsibility🛡️ When things go wrong, it's on you to fix them. Whether it’s cash flow issues, operational challenges, or unexpected crises, you're the one who has to step up. 👉 Sacrificing personal rewards 💰 You’re often the last to get paid and the last to take a break. The success of your business—and the well-being of your team—comes first. 👉 Enduring long hours 🧘♀️ Forget about the typical 9-to-5. Building a successful business demands relentless effort, often at the expense of personal time and comfort. But if you’re willing to make these sacrifices, the rewards can be worth it. The journey is tough, but for those who persevere, the sense of accomplishment and eventual freedom can be incredibly fulfilling. 🎙️ Tune in to listen to the first part of our episode with Fathalla, where he shares his journey from leaving a well-paid private equity job to starting a coffee house.

We break down investments and compounding interest in a way everybody is going to be able to understand.

Where do you find your value? 🤔 Too often we wind up placing our value in a list of tasks, a busy schedule, or in the title we give ourselves. We define our value based on what we do, instead of who we are. The truth is, even if you never did a single “productive” thing, you would still have value. You have value because you are YOU! As scary as that may seem, until we embrace that, we’ll continually seek validation from others and our work will never be enough.

Is your self-identity holding you back? 🤨 Friends, this is a question I’ve been pondering a lot lately, and it’s the focus of this week’s episode of Rock Your Reinvention. Our self-identity is a powerful force that shapes our lives, guiding our choices and defining our paths. But what if the way we see ourselves is the very thing keeping us stuck? 🚧 In episode #40, I delve into the nuances of self-identity and how it can both help and hinder us. I share personal stories from my journey – from my days as a dancer to my corporate reinventions to my current role as an entrepreneur. Each reinvention came with its own set of challenges and required me to redefine my identity. (And I'm no exception. I see this in my clients all the time!) We’ll explore how deeply ingrained identities, even those we cherish, can sometimes limit our potential. Whether it’s the identity of a high-achieving professional, a dedicated parent, or anything in between, it’s crucial to recognize when these roles serve us and when they might be holding us back. Ready to embrace change and unlock new possibilities? 💪✨ This episode is packed with thought-provoking content and ends with a powerful exercise to help you take concrete steps toward your own reinvention. 🎧 Go to https://buff.ly/3TZG7M4 to listen now!
