Summary

Let’s flip the roles, Goal Diggers: today, YOU get to guide the conversation! I asked you to call in with your questions about business, life, creativity, burnout, strategy… Really, anything you’re walking through right now. And you showed up with such incredible honesty, depth, and curiosity. In this episode, I’m answering your real questions. We cover everything from pivoting your business when you’re scared to let go of what’s working, navigating grief while building something meaningful, handling burnout, organizing your growing testimonials, and what’s been giving me life outside of work lately. You’ll hear stories, strategies, and some honest behind-the-scenes of what’s felt really hard (and really good!) for me lately. And if you’re listening and thinking, “Wait, I have a question too!”, good news! I want to hear from you. If you want your voice featured on an upcoming episode, just call me at 218-203-9660 and leave a voicemail with your question. Seriously, don’t overthink it… just speak from the heart and you might be part of the next AMA episode!

0:00.0	Nothing makes me happier than doing work that energizes me. And I've always been committed to that,
0:06.8	not just for myself, but for my entire team. That's why I'm so excited about the working genius model.
0:12.6	It's a powerful tool that helps you discover your natural strengths and where you thrive in your work.
0:18.0	When you tap into what you're naturally good at, work becomes more rewarding
0:21.4	and you get so much more done. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect when I took the working
0:26.5	genius assessment, but it blew me away with how accurate and insightful it was. It affirmed that I am
0:32.6	naturally gifted at using my intuition and instincts to evaluate and assess ideas or plans. And it also confirmed
0:39.2	my love for self-starters and the fact that I can get frustrated if I have to be the main
0:43.5	source of motivation for other people to get results. The assessment only takes 10 minutes and
0:48.8	it's great for solopreneurs and teams alike. Imagine with me how effortless your teamwork will
0:53.8	be if you understand the

1:25.7	seeing traction? Or maybe you're
1:27.8	scared to pivot even when your gut is nudging you forward. This episode is packed with real talk
1:32.9	about burnout, flops, starting over, and the surprising things that are lighting me up lately.
1:39.3	I'm Jenna Goetcher, your host of the Gold Digger podcast. I escaped the corporate world at the age of 23 with
1:45.7	nothing more than a $300 camera from Craigslist and a dream. Now I'm running a seven-figure online
1:51.7	business that feels even better than it looks, all from my house in small town, Minnesota with my family.
