Hey Girlfriend, have you ever thought about reimagining yourself? We are absolutely thrilled to share this empowering conversation with Michelle G, also known as "MG the Reimagine Strategist." This episode is all about helping women like us bravely step out of our comfort zones, especially those corporate golden handcuffs, and into a life we were truly meant to lead!
Who is Michelle G and Whom Does She Serve?
Michelle G, or MG, works with women who are ready to reimagine themselves, whether they've retired, are still in the workforce, or simply decided to do something different. She helps them leverage their skills, education, and experience to transition into consulting or coaching, essentially doing the work they've always done but for themselves. Michelle herself started as a publisher and naturally moved into consulting, helping women turn their experiences into thriving businesses.
Why "Reimagine You" and How Does It Help?
Michelle’s philosophy is all about asking, "What do I want to do?" Reimagining yourself means deciding what your work week looks like, what wealth means to you, and understanding the true worth of your work. It’s a powerful shift in mindset and perspective from being an employee to being in control as a business owner. Michelle shared her own journey of moving from being a "recovering people pleaser" to setting boundaries and valuing her own needs, which she calls "myself interrupted". A key piece of advice she gives is to never accept the first offer when negotiating—always counter, even if you like it, because you might be pleasantly surprised with more!
How Does Michelle Help People Take Action?
Michelle helps by holding people accountable for their goals and dreams, emphasizing that action is required for change. She calls out the "information-action gap," noting that if you truly want something, you'll take the necessary steps. Her clients are action-takers who know they're not playing around. Michelle finds her clients often through referrals or through her "reimagine captive" tool—a questionnaire that helps identify if someone is ready to reimagine their life. She stresses the importance of knowing your target market, as trying to serve everyone means serving no one. As a special gift, Michelle is offering a personal gratitude journal on her website, michellegines.online, to help you spend time with yourself and go inward.
