Episode 041 - Rewrite your story - Connecting to your best you | with Laura Cruise

53m · Make Today Count · 17 Apr 23:00

Laura Cruise helps women who are stuck, trapped and unfulfilled in corporate life to build the confidence and self-belief alongside a practical plan so that they can transition into their own freedom based business in order to experience freedom, flow, fulfilment and fun in every aspect of their life.

 

Laura has been working for herself for two years, having left her corporate role just as the pandemic hit. She works mainly with women who dream of more but lack the clarity, confidence and the clear steps to make the break from corporate. She wants to help other women to do what she did!

 

When you work for somebody else you don’t have full control of your life. You are limited. You are not able to show your true potential. When you work for yourself you have no limits or barriers. You can push further, harder and with more energy because you are the driving force. You have it in you to create the most magical business that is entirely your creation. Believe in yourself!
