🎧Episode Highlights

[01:19] Diana’s Days in Brisbane

• Diana's recording this episode from Brisbane, Australia, after a tough week.
• For a while now, she has been feeling lonely and lost. However, she’s now on the upswing and getting back into the groove of work and life.

[02:52] The Connect and Disconnect Between Dream and Reality

• Diana asks: can you build a life you love while running a business you enjoy? The resounding answer is yes, it's definitely possible!

[03:43] Diana: “You really can have a life you love and a business that supports it. And a business you love not just a business that makes you money, but also an actual business that you're excited to wake up and do in the morning.”

• Here’s a little exercise for you. Picture the day ahead of you and how it might go. Think about how your day-to-day life goes.
• Look for the disconnect between what you imagined and how your day goes.
• You can also find out where it connects. These are the points in your day when what you’re doing works for you.

[07:15] Setting Your Boundaries In Time

• Set yourself up for success by setting boundaries in your calendar and time.
• Don’t be afraid to have hard conversations to enforce your boundaries. Take control of the hours in your day and how you spend them.
• Know your worth, how much your time is worth, and how much your effort is worth.
• Block your days and hours. When are your work times? When is your personal time?

[09:17] Know Your Worth

• Pricing is another boundary. If you find yourself burnt out and still not making enough, maybe it's time to consider how much you charge.
• Don’t be afraid to charge more. Know your worth. Don’t do yourself the disservice of undercharging yourself.

[13:34] Diana: “Make sure you're stepping into that sommelier avatar, that alter ego. Step into that high status and know your work is fucking worth it. And by making more money and working less, you are going to automatically start to have more of a life of your dreams because you have space and time to breathe.”

• Align your business and your pricing with the life of your dreams.
• If you’re new to the field, you might not be able to charge higher. But as you gain experience, you’ll get to where you want to be.
• Find ways to reach more people while spending less time and effort.

[12:19] A Clear Vision of Your Dream Life

• Be clear about what your dream life and business look like. Know what you need and desire to have in your life.
• Diana knew that she wanted to travel the world. She actively worked toward making it happen; now, she's living her dream life.

[18:03] Diana: “You can't just sit on the couch and expect it to happen. You can't complain that your bank account is empty, and be like, ‘What the fuck, where's my dream.’ You have to be smart and proactive and your own biggest advocate.”

• Know what you’re worth and set your pricing and boundaries. Be clear on your dream and proactively work towards it.

[18:46] How Diana Made it Happen

• Before traveling the world, Diana had plans to support herself while living her dream life.
• Diana planned to hustle photoshoots and take jobs wherever she went to make her dream become reality.
• Things didn’t go exactly as planned, but everything happened as it did for a reason.
• Everything will fall into place, but you can't just wait for it to happen. While waiting for your dream life, set your boundaries and prices. Keep on enjoying each day.
• Let your business support you even if it’s not yet the dream life you’re looking for. In time, it’s what will get you to your goal.

If you're pushing aside your dreams because you think achieving them is impossible, pause. Check that limiting belief. You may be closing yourself off to opportunities before they even come. If you know your worth, you can create boundaries and set prices that bring you closer to your dream life and a business that supports it.
