    #6 - Is your business contributing to your well-being? - with Nicolina Werther

    Solo-episode in which I share why building healthy, sustainable businesses starts with building healthy individuals and how self-employment can contribute to your well-being. The episode starts with a short update on the purpose of the podcast and then explores: why healing precedes or at least goes hand in hand with building a healthy business or projects why healing affects all areas of life and “niching”, saying you specialise only in one particular area, might not always be appropriate how self-employment can contribute to your well-being by helping you build a healthy relationship with inyourself how a lack of structure and consistency can be a form of self-abandonment how listening to yourself and knowing what works or doesn’t work for you is key for healthy productivity, as well as high motivation and engagement levels Another aspect of building healthy individuals and companies, I don't mention on the recording, is that a focus on well-being naturally extends beyond personal issues and e.g taking care of the environment becomes easy. The more you are well and resourced, the more interest and energy you will have to give back to the wider world – including e.g. the environment. There is a huge difference between “having to be environmentally conscious” and forcing yourself or your company to be sustainable vs it being a natural extension of your interest in well-being for yourself and the wider world.

How important your intentions are and how far they can get you, you can find out if you listen to this interview with Rachel Samuel. Rachel is one half of the founders behind Gesha village coffee estate. Gesha village coffee is one of the most celebrated coffees in the world!

This episode explores: How far your “good intentions” can bring you (psst! spoiler: They can get your right to the top!) Why it is important to give every little detail intention & thought and why you want to tell your plants what you want from them How there is only one of you, and how that means you can share your knowledge freely without needing to fear that anyone will ever be able to copy you How a higher price will never be an obstacle if you produce with the intention of producing the highest quality, trusting yourself and valuing your contributions along the way How you know you are in tune and in flow with life, when you can consider the trees as your extended family!
