Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tara Sage, Founder of Tara Sage Inc., located in Florida, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Ever feel like a bird in a cage or have a nagging sense that you're meant for more? I will help you stop waiting for "someday" and live your boundless, thriving, hell yes, no-vacation-needed life now. I can coach you to rethink conventions, chart your own course, and create the life you think you cannot have.
Tell us about yourself
As far back as I can recall, I felt like I was being asked to fit into a mold that simply didn't fit. From the 9-5 job to status quo norms to the expectations of parents, teachers, bosses, even friends… That's why, in 2004, I decided to start a location-independent business and chart my own course. My official "cred" includes a Master's degree in Holistic Leadership, a bachelor's in Psychology, and coach training certification. I not only want to help, I know how to help. I've served thousands around the world to experience a new kind of freedom. I am on a mission to expand my impact to the millions. Will you be next?
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
As someone who's been in business since 2004, there have been many accomplishments over the years that I'm proud of. The most recent is becoming the bestselling author of 'The Brules of Life: 15 bullsh*t rules to break for a no-vacation-needed life,' available now on Amazon. I feel like my entire life and career have prepared me to write it. It's been thrilling to see the way it's been received by readers, and I look forward to releasing future books in the series.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
In terms of longevity, one challenge I've faced is keeping things fresh, responding both to changes in the marketplace as well as honoring my own growth and interests. As I've grown and developed, so has my business. It has evolved and continues to. Accepting this as a normal part of the process helps me keep my offers relevant, passion-driven, engaging, and sustainable.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Especially at the start, you are the foundation your business is built on. Developing and maintaining a strong personal foundation and the resilience to manage uncertainty with determination and commitment is key to your business' success.
- Don't try to be and do everything. Own your strengths as much as your weaknesses, and prioritize getting support for things that aren't your strong suit.
- Service must include you. This means that if you're not fueled and fulfilled by what you provide, that's a recipe for burnout. Deliver value to others in a way that has you delighted in the giving.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Inspired by my books, I am gathering a revolutionary community together to rethink conventions and rewrite the rules on how to create the life you think you cannot have. It's called The Brule Breakers Club, and you're invited! Learn more about the Club and my books at www.bookofbrules.com, and be sure to claim a free gift over at www.tarasagecoaching.com/free-stuff/.
