In today’s episode, Paula shares her #1 philosophy in business and life and that is… the power of choice. In this personal share, she opens up about how this applies to various aspects of her life and business and how this belief is empowering and stress relieving! Paula shares personal examples of how she has applied this philosophy including closing her yoga studio during the pandemic and making numerous changes in her multiple businesses over the years. She also explores common situations where entrepreneurs may feel stuck and offers insights on how to approach them with a mindset of choice. Highlights Having a choice does not dismiss the feelings or discomfort we feel when things aren’t going the way we want them to. Recognizing our power to choose can be empowering and stress-relieving. Feeling stuck often comes from forgetting that we have a choice. When faced with a situation that is not ideal, we can choose to accept it, change it, or make a decision later. Making choices consciously and strategically will lead to positive outcomes and personal growth.
