Why a Focus Milestone is needed when you are a Doer
In this podcast episode, I share my recent experience with hiring a mentor to improve my productivity and accountability as an entrepreneur. I also discuss the challenge of managing multiple ideas and projects simultaneously, emphasizing the importance of setting focus milestones to ensure progress and completion.
Drawing parallels between nurturing projects and parenting, explaining how each project should reach a certain level of independence (like a child getting a driver's license) before moving on to the next.
This approach helps me and my clients stay focused and achieve our goals without getting overwhelmed by new ideas or unfinished tasks.

In this episode, I talk about balancing authenticity and professionalism, especially when showing up on social media and in business. I share how I recorded this podcast without makeup or getting ready because it was more important to stay consistent than to look perfect. I want people to know it’s okay to show up as they are, and that trying to be perfect can often stop us from taking action. I also share a personal story from when I first started making YouTube videos and how being visible and real online helped me grow my business.
