Today’s episode was requested by a lot of people and an episode that I honestly dreaded. When I take requests for specific topics on the show, this is the most requested episode.. “Haley, how did you get to where you are right now? How many times did you pivot in business?” So ok, I’ll be honest and let you in on the real reason why I put this episode on the back burner for months. Part of my story is a little tough. For years, I worked really hard and my life was consumed by the business I created. I became a slave to work. But the root of the reason why is because I was escaping something that had happened to me from my past, something that created a terrible habit of working and being busy every second of my life to the point of where relaxing is so foreign to me. I joke around about it, but I’m terrible at it. I can’t NOT work. People joke about being a workaholic but, I truly believe I was addicted to working as an alcoholic was addicted to alcohol because I hated the thought of having to face my situation. How awful, right?! And THAT is why this episode was put on the back burner. Not because I don’t love you guys and want to serve you in the best way possible, but because I have never put this out into the world. But I know that some of you may be going through a rough situation right now or you may feel as if you are having trouble balancing your life and work to such an extreme level like I did (and still do at times). This episode is actually a Facebook live recording I did inside my free Facebook group, which I would love for you to join at marketbeautifully.com/community. I got a little emotional, but I did warn them that this was going to be a pretty raw live and I knew I would stumble over my words because I didn’t practice telling my story beforehand, I just kind of went for it. I hope that this in someway helps you, wherever you are at in business or life, because that’s my goal here. I know you are going to do bigger things than the big things you are already doing.
