Empowering Women Through Business and Life

Speaker 1 0:00

Welcome to the Made for this podcast. I'm your host, gina Golden, mom to five boys, multi-passionate entrepreneur, real estate investor, business and life coach for women. I'm on a mission to empower women to take courageous action towards their dream life, to create freedom-filled businesses on your own terms and life-changing income. While you're at it. On this podcast, you can expect both the mindset and strategies behind building wealth, interviews with other powerhouse female entrepreneurs and real talk for us moms in business. Let's do this. Well, hey, there I'm back, so allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Gina Golden. If you've been a long time listener, you know me as a business coach in the industry that I love and the one that got me started down my entrepreneurial path photography. Thank you, thank you for following me on this journey. If this is where we part ways, hey, it's okay. Know that I am eternally thankful for you, and if you want to continue on this wild ride with me, then let's go. I am so honored to have you here, whether you've been around since day one or you're just finding me today. Thank you, thank you for being here. I took a bit of a break, so let's talk about the why, the how, the rebrand and the new direction I am going. First, the rebrand. You may have noticed that the podcast has a new name made for this. That phrase is crazy important to me, so important that it is tattooed on my arm, my very first tattoo that I actually waited until I was 46 years old to get. I knew it had to be something deeply personal to me if I was ever going to get one. So I did, and it wasn't even that bad. I'm so happy that I have it now. But those little words, they got me through so much over the last few years. You may know my story you may not From running up steep hills like literally I've been running up steep hills that I should do more of now to learning how to be a single mom, to building a house on my own after my divorce, to attorney's offices and courtrooms, to starting this podcast a few years ago, to growing a coaching business, to speaking on stage, to taking care of my dad as he battled cancer, to raising my five crazy boys, and now this new pivot for my coaching business and my career all of it. I was made for this. That phrase has been on repeat in my head and that is what I wanted to have on my arm as a constant reminder that I can do hard things. And that is why I rebranded this podcast with the same name and why my new coaching experience that I'll tell you about in just a little bit is named that as well. I was made for this, and whatever you are going through, whatever you want to create, you were made for this too. Whether that's starting a business, you were made for this too. Whether that's starting a business, getting back in shape, taking care of your family or being super mom maybe it's your own career pivot too you were made for this yes, you will hear me say it on repeat for you too. And that leads me to how this came to be and the new direction that I am heading.

Speaker 1 3:42

This has actually been a long time coming. I've been feeling this little tug on my heart for a while now, but I had to get there right. It wasn't instant. I didn't quite believe that I could do it, so I've been working on myself. I dove deep into personal development, on having a growth mindset, on overcoming some limiting beliefs around money. I became a certified life coach. In the process, it has taken me four solid years to build the belief that anything is possible. I have trained myself to fully believe that and with that belief, bigger ideas and a bigger vision for my life started to unfold. I figured some things out and I took that break to get clear on what I really wanted. We get one life and I don't want to waste mine. I am passionate about that and I will show up with conviction around that message too. My old life no longer fit this new vision in my head. It wasn't aligned with my values anymore.

Speaker 1 4:54

Over the last few years I've gone through some massive identity shifts from photographer to coach for photographers and now to a life and business coach for women. I've seen a lot of success along the way, but I've also seen the opposite. Success is built on mistakes, or what we like to call failures. I like to call it messy, courageous action. Failure is not failure. Failure is a lesson, right, it is a lesson in how to not do something. You just figure out how not to do it and then you go try something else. That is what success is built on. All of that, added up to a multi-six-figure photography business with very little overhead, a half-million-dollar coaching business and my start into real estate investing, we have flipped five houses in one year and just put a contract. Actually, we put two contracts on two new ones in the last week. Also three long-term rental properties creating passive income, and we plan to continue that as well.

Speaker 1 6:05

I want to show women what is possible. I went from single living in an apartment to all of this in a matter of a few years, and it's because I chose to believe two things Anything is possible, and I was made for this. I want you to know that you can do anything too, that you don't have to burn yourself out, that you don't have to work so hard for so little, that you don't have to trade your time for dollars, that there is a world where there is freedom to live and operate a business and generate income on your own terms. Anything is possible for you, too. That is what I have been creating in my absence here.

Speaker 1 6:53

I was so convicted about this that I knew that I had to make some really hard decisions, ones that would disappoint people in my life, ones that might piss some people off, ones that I knew I might be judged for thought of as a sellout All kinds of things. Right, these decisions have not come easily for me. This pivot has not been easy. There have been nights of pacing the floor, flipping and flopping in bed, crying my eyes out poor Brian, having to listen to me go back and forth, dreading, dreading making this decision until I could finally stand firmly in it.

Speaker 1 7:37

Having to leave an old life behind is not easy. That took a lot of work, but that is what it takes to become the next best version of you. You have to give up the safety net sometimes, and sometimes it's a slow process and other times it's like ripping a band-aid off. You have to do what everyone else isn't willing to do, but when all of that aligns with your values, your priorities and your vision for your life, there is a huge amount of peace in it. I am so peaceful about this decision now that I finally made it, and I'm usually not one to waffle back and forth in indecision. I make fast decisions. Waffle back and forth in indecision, I make fast decisions. But this one was hard. I'm just going to be honest. So I'm shifting, I'm pivoting because I know I can serve more women in a bigger capacity Now behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 8:30

I have been life coaching women one-on-one. I have been helping women build their own passive income businesses, their own coaching businesses in a mastermind setting. Oh my gosh, we are having the best time. The biggest thing that I am creating, though, is my new Made for this coaching membership. It's an experience, really. Yes, it's a membership, but it's an experience. I'll drop the link in the show notes if you'd like to check it out and join me as a founding member.

Speaker 1 8:59

This is a place where we take focused action together, where we prove to ourselves that we can do the hard things, where we put an end to the self-sabotage and the limiting beliefs. A place where you grow into the very best version of yourself too. A place where you will be surrounded by other women supporting your vision. If that aligns with you, go check it out, and if it doesn't, hey, we can still be friends. I am on a mission to help women create wealth, create time freedom, make bold moves, take courageous action. Hold moves, take courageous action, master their minds and their emotions, because that is what ultimately gives you a business and a life you are so in love with.
