Famous Michelle Jacobik Quotes

“Becoming our own boss means more than just sacrifice. It means having clarity around who we are, what we want, and where we are going—and then actually creating it.”

“Your version of alignment will be unique to you—and, make no mistake, it will require you to be fully present, engaged, committed, and open to evolution. Maybe, like me, you’ll need to reexamine how, when, where, and with whom you are working within your current business model.”

“You need to lift your gaze and explore a more conscious, holistic space. That doesn’t mean that strategy has no place in vision—it definitely does—but it needs to come after the big picture of your life is established. In other words, decide how you want to feel, and who you want to be. Then, apply strategy to get there.”

“I’m here to tell you that there is a way out of the entre- preneurial spiral. You CAN have freedom of money, time, andaction in your business. You CAN make an impact and still have a life. But if you really want it all—the freedom and the success, the money and the time—you need to be willing to challenge everything you thought you knew about designing, building, and running a business.”

“The people who truly succeed as entrepreneurs—who create the dream life and the dream business—aren’t superhuman. They have simply figured out how to get their higher self and their human self moving in the same direction. You are capable of doing whatever you dream. And the part of you who dreams knows it.”

“It takes a different approach to create success that supports life, but it’s a choice you can make for yourself right now. Today. In this moment. EnVision is your path to sustainable, nourishing, aligned profitability.”

“Those two voices in your head actually dictate every action you take in your life. But sometimes, if you’re not listening closely, Fear sounds like reason, and Soul sounds like a crazy person. If you don’t know which one you’re truly listening to, it can be hard to take the leaps necessary to reach your dreams.”

“Profit isn’t a driving force, it’s a result of the “why”—and that kind of clarity works. In fact, purpose-driven companies outperform their counterparts in stock price by a factor of twelve!”

“Since you are at the helm of your business, your personal “why” will also become the “why” for your business. While the expression of your “why” might look different in your business and personal life, the intention and energy will be the same.”

“Our business exists not just to serve others, but to serve us—and when we set boundaries in our business that reflect our personal vision, core values, and goals, we are actually more likely to succeed.”

“Goals and vision are different. They’re like the two magnifications in progressive eyeglass lenses. When you look down at what’s right in front of you—like you would with the “reading” lenses in progressives—you’re looking at goals. When you look out at the horizon—the “distance” lenses—you’re in vision. But when you try to look at both at once? That’s a recipe for blurriness, confusion, and a headache.”

“I’ve seen wishing and waiting turn too many entrepreneurs onto the dark roads of financial strain, burnout, and despair. They’ve invested everything in the belief that they will get there ... and yet, they still have no real idea where “there” is. They just know it’s better, and different, than here. To me, this is a huge reason why entrepreneurial failure is rampant. Most entrepreneurs don’t lack talent, heart, or even business sense. They simply don’t know how to turn their wishes into plans, and their plans into profits.”
