After nearly 20 years in the corporate HR space, climbing to the C-suite, Nick Goblirsch was laid off just before Christmas, which SUCKS, but this sudden life-changing moment prompted him to work for himself and create I Heart Painting.
However, before this, in 2015, he started a podcast The Dependent Independent Podcast and from that learned the strength of social media marketing and self-branding, which is now the backbone of his solo business ventures.
On this episode we discuss:
- Life-changing moments
- Setting unrealistic rules to live by
- Needing validation from others to make him feel he was doing a good job.
- Asking yourself, why am I doing this?
- Why it's scary making decisions that are going to affect the people around you that you love
- How do you say to your family, “I don’t want to do it anymore.”
- Tricksters & Sabatours - the voices in your head
- The price of leadership
“Get good at doing things other people don’t want to do.”
- The gig economy
- Leadership is a Friggin lonely place, but everyone wants a leadership job because it pays more, gives you a lot of freedom and authority.
- Being an entrepreneur, you’re not alone
- Fulfilling your needs
"You can't think that you need approval from your spouse or family because they are always going to look at it through their lens. You were so good at what you did".
