Natalie Brite | Building a Business that DOESN'T Harm Others
There’s a lot of toxicity that exists in the social media universe and in the online business space, right now.
On a daily basis we are exposed to...
-
Hustle culture, the idea that working more is better
-
We’re exposed to influencers who are selling us products they’ve never even tried
-
Coaches are using fancy cars & designer handbags to project that they’re living a dream lifestyle, when in reality they are just as scared as you that they won’t be able to pay off their next credit card statement
I can’t even believe this is where we’ve landed, but it’s real!
When we really step back and look at what’s happening, we can see that many of these toxic business rituals are rooted in insecurity and scarcity, and many of them are just unethical.
This is the focus of my conversation with Natalie Brite.
