This was originally one of the guest episodes from our summer series. Because of some life stuff, Jessica and I decided to postpone releasing the episode until it made sense for all parties.

I particularly love this episode because Jessica is SO real and shares some vulnerable stuff you won't hear from other mentors in the space. _________________________________________________________________ Jessica Paxton is the owner of The Chameleon VA, your go-to "Niche Expert".

In this week's episode, I'm sharing with you what all I'm taking away from my time doing the 75 Hard Challenge. In case you are unaware, it's a 75 day health and fitness challenge. I did my round from July 29 through October 11. In this episode, I'm sharing with you my thoughts on the challenge and what I'm taking with me now that it's over. This fitness challenge inspired me to create a business version specific to service providers and our first day of this next round started on Monday. The goal is to create consistent habits around getting visible in your business, while still focusing on the whole person. Spoiler: the people who did the first challenge round had increase in discovery calls and new clients. If that's what you want- more clients that you like and want to work with, sign up for this current round! https://sustainablebusinesscollective.thrivecart.com/75-hard/
