SPI 867: How to Build a 7-Figure Business in a Boring Industry (And Have Fun!) with Sam Vander Wielen

#867 Goals we work hard toward can turn out to be all wrong for us the moment we achieve them. In fact, it's easy to fall into this trap if we don't uncover our own definition of success and chase someone else's instead. So how do we begin again if we find ourselves on a path we don't like? In this episode, I'm joined by the author of When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy, Sam Vander Wielen. The moment today's guest landed the attorney job of her dreams, she knew corporate life wouldn't be right for her. Not one to give up, she leaned into the pull of entrepreneurship and pivoted to create a multimillion-dollar online business around her expertise. Sam is a master storyteller with an impressive ability to turn everyday moments into engaging lessons for her audience. Listen in if you're stuck in a traditional job or want to create and sell your first products! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session867.
