121: From Teacher to Multi 7 Figure Entrepreneur with Caitlin Mitchell

You know that feeling when someone shares a story so real, so raw, and so inspiring that you’re practically fist-pumping in your seat? 💪 That’s exactly what happened on our latest Do Life Big Podcast episode with Caitlin Mitchell! 🎉

Caitlin went from being a high school English teacher to the powerhouse CEO of a multi-7-figure business. Her journey? A rollercoaster of risks, resilience, and bold decisions—like quitting her teaching job mid-year to follow a calling that was louder than the doubts around her. 🎢

Here are just a few golden nuggets she shared:
✨ Trust the nudge: Caitlin leaned into her intuition (even when it made zero sense on paper).
✨ Calculated risks pay off: From spending $10K on ads to investing $600K into her business vision—she showed us how bold action leads to big rewards.
✨ It’s not about YOU: The secret sauce to staying grounded? Remembering the impact you’re here to create for others.

Her advice for when the road feels bumpy? KEEP GOING. Because it’s not the struggles that define you—it’s how you show up for them. 🙌
