Your Business Isn't Your Baby | SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast with Chris Melville
Description
In this episode of the SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, Nicole George reconnects with Chris Melville, SOVEREIGN Magazine®'s In-House Coach. In the April Full Moon issue conversation on balance, they discuss Chris’s article “Your business isn’t your baby,” exploring how early entrepreneurship can become all-consuming when solopreneurs wear every hat. Chris explains that calling a business a “baby” often leads to pouring everything into it at the expense of personal wellbeing, risking burnout because the owner is both the business’s biggest strength and weakness. They address the shift from corporate work habits, money-driven panic, and “busy work,” emphasizing reconnecting to purpose, vision, and values and taking revenue-generating, inspired action. Listeners are invited to connect with Chris in the SOVEREIGN Magazine® community and return for new and full moon episodes.
