In this episode, I'm getting real about "profitable simplicity" and how it completely transformed my business - and honestly, my life. I used to be trapped in that endless one-to-one cycle, constantly booked but never building something bigger than myself. Sound familiar? When I found out I was pregnant, my entire business model suddenly felt terrifying. How could I maintain income while needing more flexibility and energy? That's when everything shifted. I'm sharing exactly how I transitioned from exhausting one-to-one work to a one-to-many approach that increased my impact, income, and freedom. We'll cover how to package your unique methodology into a high-ticket offering and sell it authentically (none of that pushy stuff!). Because here's what I believe: you shouldn't have to choose between financial success and a life you love. Your business should support your dreams, not consume them.

In this episode of 'Chats with GiGi,' host GiGi Diaz reflects on the meaning of freedom as an entrepreneur. Coming from a background where freedom was scarce, she shares how living in the United States has allowed her to appreciate the liberty to speak, think, and act freely. Focusing on the 4th of July, she discusses the common entrepreneurial desire for time, financial, and creative freedom, and questions whether business owners are creating their ventures from a place of genuine freedom or merely following someone else’s success template. GiGi emphasizes the importance of identity evolution over outcome obsession and explores how shifting from pressure to curiosity can alleviate stress and fuel creativity. She invites listeners to reflect on what true entrepreneurial freedom means for them, offering practical advice on building a business that aligns with one’s personal values and desired lifestyle. Listen in for insights on crafting a business structure that supports not just financial success, but personal fulfillment as well. 00:00 Reflecting on Freedom and Entrepreneurship 02:11 Introduction to The Chats with Gigi Podcast 02:58 The Myth of the Mold in Entrepreneurship 18:04 The Importance of Identity Evolution 24:55 Shifting from Pressure to Possibility 28:06 Embracing True Entrepreneurial Freedom 29:54 Final Thoughts and Call to Action Learn more about Simple Business System™ - www.seizinghappy.com/sbs Use the code CHATS for a $200 savings ;) Not ready for a whole business restructure but still seeking support?
