Episode Summary

Today we have a special episode and guest! I am LIVE in the podcast studio with Heather Boschke. Heather is a marketing executive with over twenty years of corporate experience turned entrepreneur with her business, Vogel Venture. She shares how after getting fired twice and laid off once, she finally was ready to take the leap of faith to start her own marketing business. Using her experience with corporate she was able to take the lessons and processes learned and leverage them within her own business and to help her small business clients.

With no longer worrying about fitting the "corporate mold" Heather was even able to find her creative side again and started ANOTHER business, Buddha Birdie. Combining her love of birds and drawing, she was able to create two children's books.

Heather shares with us the importance of talking to people about your ideas / business and letting yourself get quiet enough to listen to your own voice. She shares what are the most important priorities and values in her life and how she lets those guide her to make the best business and personal decisions. In other words, what gives you energy versus what drains you of energy?

Finally Heather shares with us her most important message for listeners, "BET ON YOURSELF!" We are all born with purpose and passions in our lives, and it is our job to find them!
