    A Sneak Peek into the World of Lifestyle Entrepreneurship

    Description #79 - Would you like to have A Sneak Peek into the World of Lifestyle Entrepreneurship? Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a lifestyle entrepreneur? 🤔 Well, I've got the inside scoop for you! Join me as we take a behind-the-scenes look at the world of lifestyle entrepreneurship in this week's episode of The Stay At Home Nurse Podcast. 👀 Most of us are used to working our life around our work, right? But lifestyle entrepreneurs flip the script. They plan their life and work their work around them. 🏖️ It's all about prioritizing what truly matters! Join me as I walk along the beautiful beach in Cancun, Mexico, and share my experiences as a lifestyle entrepreneur. From leaving our home and traveling full-time to finding the balance between work and personal life, we'll delve into the world of working on our business instead of just in it.  Get ready for an insightful and inspiring episode as we explore the ups and downs of this unique entrepreneurial journey.  Show Notes Most of us are used to working our life around our work, right? But lifestyle entrepreneurs like Deanna Cooper Gillingham and her hubby decided to flip the script. They plan their life and work their work around them. 🏖️ It's all about prioritizing what truly matters! So, here's the deal: Deanna and her hubby have been traveling full-time for over three months! 🌍 They left their home in Mexico and embarked on a journey filled with conferences, coaching, and workshops. How's that for some serious hustle while exploring the world? 🌟 Last year was their trial run, and this year they went all-in! First stop: Scottsdale, Arizona. They had a beautiful home and managed to balance work and play effortlessly. Plus, Deanna found time for early morning hikes and walks on the beach. Talk about living the dream! 🌅 The next leg of their adventure took them to Las Vegas for a conference. It was all about networking and collaborating. But it was in Sedona, Arizona where Deanna found the perfect blend of lifestyle and entrepreneurship. Morning hikes, meditation, and quality work hours. 🌿 Deanna discovered that taking care of herself first actually increased her productivity and energy levels. By prioritizing self-care and establishing routines, she was able to work smart and enjoy life to the fullest. It's all about that work-life balance, folks! ⚖️ Of course, being a lifestyle entrepreneur isn't all sunshine and rainbows. After intense coaching sessions, Deanna often felt emotionally drained. But the rewards of helping others achieve their goals outweighed the exhaustion. It's a labor of love, my friends. ❤️ Family time also played a significant role in their journey. Deanna and her husband spent quality time with loved ones in Pennsylvania and even had a mastermind session with entrepreneur friends. The power of collaboration and bouncing ideas off each other is truly invaluable! 👫 As they wrapped up their time in Western Pennsylvania and returned to Mexico, Deanna couldn't help but appreciate the balanced lifestyle they have created. Mornings for work and afternoons for family time. Structure and flexibility, all in one package. 🌻 If you've ever dreamed of combining work and adventure, lifestyle entrepreneurship might just be your calling. It's all about making conscious choices, prioritizing self-care, and finding a balance that works for you? 🌈
