On today's episode of the Pivot Into Your Purpose Podcast, I chat with Nicole Ralston, a Business Coach for Service Based Entrepreneurs. Nicole is a former engineer and Algebra II teacher, and shared her journey of multiple pivots, and discovering how she was meant to help service based entrepreneurs grow their businesses and feel excited about what they are doing so they can feel lit up by their work. Nicole is also a mom of two, and really had to learn that making her business a priority and asking for support from others so she could show up in her business was essential to her success and also modeling to her children that you can don't have to follow the traditional path to find success and happiness in your career.
