Episode 16: Surviving and Building the Best Business for You with Liz Wilcox
Manage episode 494737676 series 3676514
In this candid and empowering episode of Work Should Feel Good, I’m joined by Liz Wilcox, keynote speaker and queen of email marketing, to talk about building a business that genuinely works for your life—even when the path looks unconventional. Liz shares her deeply personal journey from teacher to RV blogger to email marketing powerhouse, all through the lens of doing what feels right, not what’s expected.
We talk about radical self-love (like giving yourself permission to pee), her $9/month email membership that changed the game, and how identifying what lights you up can pave the way for purpose-filled work. Liz’s approach to business is refreshingly authentic, strategic, and sustainable—and she’ll inspire you to find and follow your own version of "work that feels good."
