How to find a Purpose Driven Business Life
How to find a purpose driven business life is on the mind of many new and seasoned entrepreneurs. Many start out on the long, and sometimes arduous journey of being one’s own boss, with the idea to create a better life.
That could mean a better income, less working hours, less stress and with a better purpose in the world. Good intention and dreams do not always translate into reality. As a matter of fact, many entrepreneurs find themselves working long hours and with not so much money in the bank.
Julie Zuzek
That is where Julie Zuzek comes to the rescue. She is the Corporate Yogi and a podcaster bringing you the Conscious Business with the Corporate Yogi podcast. Julie is helping her clients to find a purpose driven business life. How does she do it? These are Julie’s words:
“In order to build a conscious business you must clearly define your purpose, agree to be authentic and mindful of your impact on others, and accept personal development as a necessary part of your success.”
Julie has been in the corporate world for more than 15 years. Then she became a Yogi. Add to this that she loves personal freedom and adventures, is always open and eager to learn more and thinks that being an entrepreneur is the opportunity to bring your unique gifts into this world. Julie brings all this and more to her coaching clients and the members of her mastermind groups.
Starting her own business as a coach has taught her that personal growth is the key to business success. She helps her clients to recognize and overcome the often subconscious obstacles – the limiting beliefs which are impacting the success of their businesses.

8:37 Julie has three podcasts dedicated to our relationship with money – your money blue print. There are three podcasts because money is such a huge topic for most of us.

RetreatU
RetreatU is an online program Julie started to teach just a year ago. She had started to hold short retreats close to her Toronto home and fell in love with it. She realized that organizing retreats was a perfect fit for her expansive skill set. Soon, she ventured into organizing an international location retreat and hasn’t looked back since.
Excited about the retreats and sharing details with friends and acquaintances, she realized that many had the dream of organizing a retreat, but no idea how to go about such a project. So, she started sharing her knowledge in personal conversations and through social media and found that the demand for this knowledge was truly great. Such, another purpose driven business was born: RetreatU.
RetreatU is a membership site teaching all the steps required to organize a successful retreat.
