I’ve been reflecting on my journey of growing my business as an empath and came across an interesting question: What sets apart empathpreneurs who prosper from those who fail? The hard truth is that empaths are not always successful. They have a tendency to give too much, sustain their business with self-sacrifice, and burn out. But what I noticed is that empathpreneurs who succeed always have a breakthrough in their capacity to receive. They’re the ones being vulnerable and asking for help when they need it instead of trying to do everything by themselves. So, how do you become better at receiving both in your personal relationships and at work? I’m sharing my best strategies on this episode of The Prosperous Empath®.

Topics:

• The idea that empaths have to use different strategies and approaches to grow their business than non-empaths and how to use your empathic tendencies to your advantage
• The one seemingly-simple reason why some empaths fail and others prosper (backed by research) 
• Catherine’s best strategies to ask for help more directly, simply, and openheartedly 
• Cultivating self-honor, getting clear on what you need, and becoming a prosperous giver
