Crazy Enough: Entrepreneurship, Mindset & Creative Business with Mary Noon
The Real Meaning of Strength: Resilience, Boundaries, and Building Your Everest
Welcome back to Crazy Enough. In this episode, we dive into candle number five in the By Noon collection: Strength.
Strength is more than muscle; it's resilience, boundary-setting, and persistence. It’s the courage to face yourself honestly in the mirror and keep going when everything inside you wants to quit. It’s navigating heartbreak, scaling a business from $100K to $5M, and learning that freedom comes on the other side of endurance.
In this episode, Mary explores strength through five essential lenses:
- Self-Reflection: The three mirrors - comparison, relationships, and accountability.
- Personal Challenges: How our lowest moments forge real strength through perseverance and perspective.
- Entrepreneurship & Scaling: What building revenue milestones truly tests in you.
- Boundaries & Vision: The Mount Everest test, defining your why, staying focused, and having the courage to say no.
- Finances & Procrastination: Facing the numbers, adopting systems like Profit First, and breaking free from avoidance.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand that strength isn't perfection, it’s persistence, and you’ll recognize the strength you already carry.
