Fear and risk are a part of our day to day life as a small business owner — and because of that fact, it’s SO incredibly important that we know how to look at risk and decide if it’s wort the potential OPPORTUNITIES that it can bring!

In today’s conversation, I’m chatting with Jessica Urquhart — and we’re going to dive into her “whole human approach” approach for risk taking and how we can get more comfortable with our fears.

Jessica is a Certified Professional Coach specializing in Decision Empowerment services, with her company ALTAZ Coaching. She works closely with individuals who are facing significant pivots in their life, career, or business, and teaches them how to leverage logic + motivation + intuition for effective decision-making (her Mind, Heart, Soul™️ method),  so they can choose fulfilling paths forward with more flow, clarity, and intentional direction.
