Your inspiring journey
The world needs to hear your story.
Do you have a story which will inspire others? We like to call it ‘Calmspiration’!
Here at Calmpreneur we love sharing stories from business owners who have overcome adversity because we know how important they are.
Someone in the world right now is where you were at your lowest point; imagine the impact that reading your story would have?
Maybe you…
Started a business after a major life event
Sometimes something happens in our lives which just makes us re-evaluate EVERYTHING. Was a major life event the catalyst for you making big changes and starting your own business?
Struggle(d) with your physical or mental health
Physical and mental health problems are very common and most of us will experience them at some point in our lives. Did this make you want to start a business so you could have complete flexibility and/or help others?
Have overcome complex trauma or PTSD
Traumatic live events can take many years to heal from. Sometimes healing ourselves makes us feel passionate about helping others to heal. Did you recover from trauma and now help others do the same?
Yes? Then read on for more information on how you can inspire other entrepreneurs.
