In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, working harder isn't always the answer. What if the key to success lies in working smarter, not just longer? As business coach Oie Dobier shares, true success is about strategic thinking and intentional growth.

Many entrepreneurs get stuck in a cycle of constant hustle, believing that more hours equal more success. Oie's own journey began when she was passed over for a promotion, a moment that sparked a critical realization: "I needed to take control of my professional destiny. This isn't about working more. It's about working with purpose."

Ready to transform your approach to business? The journey begins with a single, intentional step.

Embracing Your Sensitivity

For many entrepreneurs, especially women navigating midlife, success has long been tied to hustle. The early mornings, the late nights, the constant drive to “push through.” But what if the key to sustainable success isn’t about doing more, but about honoring who you are?

Mira Binzen believes that’s exactly the shift we need. As a wellness expert who bridges business with mindfulness, she offers a fresh perspective for entrepreneurs who identify as highly sensitive.

Your Sensitivity Isn’t a Flaw. It’s Fuel.

Highly sensitive people (HSPs) process information more deeply, feel emotions more intensely, and are highly aware of their environment. While these traits are often misunderstood in traditional business culture, they are actually strengths—especially in leadership and entrepreneurship.

When sensitivity is embraced rather than resisted, it becomes a powerful lens for creativity, empathy, and innovation.

More about ⁠Mira Binzen⁠

Mira Binzen helps highly sensitive women in their 50s and 60s ditch corporate life and build businesses that feel good—aligned, fulfilling, and totally sustainable .After 30 years of running her own businesses (without the burnout), she knows that most business advice wasn’t designed for deep-feeling, intuitive women. That’s why she blends holistic strategy, mindset shifts, and nervous system-friendly business design to help her clients create income without the hustle hangover. She’s also a yoga therapist, holistic lifestyle consultant, and author of Anxious to Awesome: A Practical Guide for the Whole Family. When she’s not guiding solopreneurs, you’ll find her out in nature, curled up with a book, or taking a really good nap .Mira believes that your business should support your well-being—not the other way around. If you’re ready to build something meaningful on your own terms, she’s here to help.

With years of experience as an editor and author, she has worked on a wide range of books, helping writers refine their stories and make their words shine. She is also the co-founder of WoW Women of Words, a thriving writing group since 1994. In a recent conversation, Connie shared her expertise and invaluable advice for aspiring writers and editors.

Connie has an eye for language and a deep appreciation for wordplay. She emphasized how the right words can elevate a reading experience and recalled a personal moment of embarrassment when she encountered unfamiliar words in a book. Her takeaway? Words matter, and choosing them wisely can transform a manuscript from good to great.

Writing a book is a journey of passion, creativity, and meticulous refinement. Behind every compelling manuscript is the critical work of professional editing, a process that transforms raw ideas into polished narratives.

More about Connie Anderson

Connie Anderson is an editor, writer, and writing group leader. She edits both non-fiction and general fiction books, and considers herself an important part of the author’s team to create the best book possible. She combines her attention to detail with the ability to edit from the reader’s

In 1994, Connie co-founded still-thriving WOW—Women of Words—for writers in different phases of their book. She has also written several books, like “In My Next Life, I Want to be My Dog.” She collected stories from people whose life was changed by polio, “When Polio Came Home: How Ordinary People Overcame Extraordinary Challenges.” Then “Man Overboard: Hubby’s Getting a New Boat,” and “The ‘I’ of a Woman.” In 2023, she launched her newest, a memoir/historical story of an English lad’s life, “Faces of Boys, Hearts of Men.”

What If the Most Powerful Chapter of Your Life Is the One Nobody Told You About?

For generations, midlife has been a whispered challenge for professional women—a time of uncertainty and invisible struggles. But Juli Okal sees it differently. This isn’t the beginning of the end. It’s the most extraordinary opportunity for personal transformation.

The pandemic wasn’t just a global disruption—it was a personal awakening. Women between 45-55 found themselves at a crossroads, questioning everything they thought they knew about success, purpose, and personal potential. The traditional career path no longer applies, and the idea of simply “climbing the ladder” feels outdated. But if the old model doesn’t fit anymore, what’s next?

More about Juli Okal

The Shift Matters exists to empower Gen X women to embrace life's transitions and create lives rich with purpose and meaning. Founded by Juli Okal, a guide, author, and educator, the initiative supports women—especially those stepping beyond being a full-time employee—to shape their future with clarity and confidence.

Juli’s latest guidebook, Your Green Portfolio Life, provides practical tools and inspiring guidance to help women design a future that reflects their deepest values and aspirations. Leveraging her decades of experience in adult learning, change management, and leadership—including a career at 3M—Juli creates opportunities for growth and connection through her pop-up masterminds in the Twin Cities, MN. These gatherings empower women to expand their networks, share ideas, and explore new possibilities with confidence.
