342. Mindset Matters for Coworking Entrepreneurs: The Power of 50/50 Thinking
In the latest episode of Everything Coworking, we’re unpacking a truth bomb about the entrepreneurial life, especially in our world of coworking. Taking a page from Brooke Castillo, we’re exploring the idea that our journeys are a healthy mix of wins and challenges – yes, it's a 50/50 split of highs and lows.
I’m diving into why expecting a smooth sail can throw us off course and how those inevitable tough times actually shore up our resilience and push our growth. It’s all about embracing every bit of the ride, knowing that each twist and turn is shaping us and our coworking ventures.
If this conversation hits home for you, do me a favor – drop by Apple Podcasts and share your thoughts with a review. It helps spread the word and gets more folks in on our coworking convos.
Tune in and let's get real about the ebb and flow that keeps us on our toes and makes this whole journey worthwhile.

Thank you!
Business E Suites & Kefi Spaces
I listen every episode, sometimes twice! Excellent content!
Too centered on the host
This podcast would be more useful for me if the host did more planning ahead of time to structure it and keep it more focused, listened to her guests more and let them talk, and talked less about herself and her personal life. The sound quality is good and she does have good knowledge on the subject.
