¶ Embracing Authenticity in Business
I'm so glad that you're here . You are listening to what the fuck did she just say with your host ? That's me , sandra Priestly . I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in .
I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros . So let's fucking go . Have you checked out my website yet ? I love it so much .
Oh my gosh , yay , it's just so lovely and like the more I work in it , I still have more pages , more little tweaks to add to it , more little fun surprises to add to it .
So the more I work in it and I work on it every day , which is a shocker , because I don't like the tech stuff and I paid someone like five figures to work on my website and , by the way , she must've wanted to kill me because it never , ever was perfect . It never felt like me . I wanted my website to fit like my favorite pair of figure skates .
You know , just perfect to me , my favorite pair of figure skates . They fit so nicely over the calluses and the bunions and the twisted toes and the broken toes and all of the things , like they fit so nicely around all of the me's you know , around all of my imperfections . That's what was lovely about them .
And so I wanted my website to just feel like that , like just when I open it up . It is so so me , and it's difficult to have someone else who is not you , even though my VA knew me so well , knows me so well . It's impossible because I didn't have clarity in my head .
You know , the only way that you can get clarity on what it is that you want to do and all of these little tweaks and turns and things and unexpected ideas that come up , is because you get clarity by action , by taking action . In fact , I did a podcast called I think I called it new website the key to clarity . That was a good .
That was a good episode too . You should go back to that one . But here's the key to clarity Action . Just take fucking action . Anyway , I did not anticipate to start this podcast this way . What I did come here to say is this I am the person who will just help any entrepreneur , any female entrepreneur , if she wants me to .
You know she wants to try something out . I was just asked today if I would be the practice person for a client of mine who is learning emotion code Abso-fucking-lutely . Yes , I will do it and I will give her a testimonial for it . Someone else wanted to do an audit on my LinkedIn . And sure , I just paid someone to do my LinkedIn .
But , yeah , okay , and I don't use it , by the way . So you know it's going to be a quick audit . But for a testimonial , absolutely you can do . You can do an audit for me . Sure , you want to look at my social media ? Yeah , totally , any advice you've got for me ? Absolutely .
But today , today , I saw a post where a female entrepreneur she does website design she wanted to look at , she wanted to do an exchange , so she would do a free website audit or maybe even design it in exchange for a testimonial . And I couldn't put my hand up for it . I couldn't do it .
And here's why Okay , I love this so much , it is so me , no matter what anyone says , I'm not going to listen and I don't want , at this point , because I love it so much and I'm so fucking obsessed with it , I don't want to hear anyone else's opinions .
So will someone come to me and say , hey , sandra , your page doesn't fit any of the marketing strategies that I've learned in university . They might , and I will be perfectly fine . Just saying I am aware of that and I don't care because I love it so much .
Thanks , I don't take offense to very much , but I'm not going to go out and actively look for people who are going to say your website needs tweaks , when I love it so much . This website is so me . It is so in alignment with who I am . It will work . It already is working , just energetically .
I have , since the 1111 portal , I've been working on my website every single day and I've had a website since 2019 , and I have avoided working on it since 2019 . So this is a big , huge thing for me and I've been working on it this entire time and I've had three people ask me for my website .
What , and holy shit , I think I have never spit out my website email , my website address . Bastard , so proud to give it out , so proud because it is so me . I want you to find something in your business that feels like this , that feels like it is so fucking you . You can't shut up about it . I cannot shut up about my website .
I can't shut up about the little tiny things that I'm creating . I can't stop telling my biz bestie oh my gosh , guess what happened ? Today I found a new thing that I can put on my website . She's probably laughing so hard because , I mean , I'm the one who says proudly that I went to university and wrote all of my papers on a typewriter .
But , wow , this has been fun . But it's fun because it's all me . When you can find that in your business , magic starts to happen . Try as best as you can to find that thing . When I work with my clients , that's the goal . It's always the goal to be as you as you possibly can .
When we start working together , it is like get ready because you are going to figure out who you are to the core of who you are , to the point where you never ever thought you knew yourself as well as you will .
¶ Discovering Authentic Self and Purpose
When you find your thing . You find that thing that is so aligned with who you are and it fits like your . It fits like a glove , it fits like your figure skate . It's like a magic switch turns on . Know yourself so well that you go all in on who you are . Magic happens from there . Thank you so much for listening .
I hope you've had some laughs , maybe some ideas , and that you've been inspired to take some type of action toward the life you've always dreamed of . If you feel so called , I would love it if you would share with your besties and leave a review down below . I look forward to bringing you along on this journey and I will see you in the next episode .
