Unleashing YOUR Great Work

Julie Ellis, a co-founder of Mabel's labels and the author of Big Gorgeous Goals, has a unique perspective on success. When she and her co-founders sold Mabel’s Labels to Avery, she felt both proud of the accomplishment and sad about losing what they had enjoyed building. This is a very common but rarely discussed part of Great Work. 

So much of what we talk about focuses on getting started and overcoming hurdles, staying at it, and building toward success.

But what happens when we get it? 

What happens when we do the impossible, summit the mountain, and achieve the dream?

What do we do with the reality that even though we are grateful for the success we’ve achieved, we are also confronted with the loss?

This is Julie’s story. Julie’s process of recovering her excitement for the work that was ahead of her helped her to develop her philosophy on Big Gorgeous Goals, which in turn became her book. 

Join us as we discuss:

·   How to set big, gorgeous goals to pursue in your one wild and precious life

·   How to believe in a goal that you feel like you have no business wanting or pursuing

·   How to discover joy and excitement for the work that is ahead of you

·  How to assemble systems, structures, and people to support your big, gorgeous goals
