The Sheila Botelho Show: Business Strategy and the Inner Work of Leadership

You've built a business and hit the goals that looked impressive from the outside.

And somewhere in the middle of it, you started wondering what it would feel like to grow without trading pieces of yourself for the next milestone.

That's the room this show holds.

Every week, Sheila brings the kind of conversation you'd have with a strategist who's been inside the systems, the identity work, the decisions that don't have a clean framework yet. An exchange built from decades of sitting across from founders navigating exactly this stretch.

You'll hear business strategy, leadership, profit, identity, and the shifting landscape of entrepreneurship, covered the way it actually shows up: tangled together, not in neat categories.

Solo episodes. Minisodes. Conversations with founders and leaders building with depth instead of noise.

This is for the founder who's done the surface-level work and is ready for something with more weight to it.

Come on in. This is the place to expand, lead steadier, and trust yourself more fully every time you press play.

New episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Balancing the day-to-day with your dream, life and purpose

After the growth I’ve experienced in the last year from business, mastery, masterminds, and coaching, I can look back and see how much time I wasted in my life putting off my dream business growth, because of not feeling ready.

The truth is there’s no time to waste when it comes to your dreams.

When you’re busy going after your purpose, your inner voice doesn’t have time to derail you. Your work needs to get done.

Building out your schedule to act on those needle moving activities is a game changer.

Do it today and set your fear aside for a moment or two in your spare time.

I’ve heard many successful people in life and business say that they fear things all the time. The thing that stands out about them is that they acknowledge the fear and take strategic action. They look for ways to move forward in a way that gets them closer to their end result.

They analyze from a cost/benefit ratio, they make a decision and they take action, in spite of the discomfort they feel.

The truth is that everything new that you’ve never done before can be uncomfortable or have you second guess yourself. You’ve never done it before, so you don’t have proof of concept.

What I’ve found as the years have flown by is just that: The years fly by! Whether you’re taking action on your dreams or not.

The more time marches on, you’ll begin to realize that you don’t have spare time to indulge yourself in limiting thoughts. There comes a time where you make a decision either way to move forward on your ideas or shift direction.

You may also have noticed that comparing yourself to others is a waste of time. They’re likely experiencing many of the same thoughts as you on their journey.

I’ve read too many stories of actors, musicians, inventors, business moguls and other world-changing humans to see the pattern.

So this week, as you’re deciding what your next steps are, Please remember your dream. The one that has been tugging on your heart for a while to get your attention.

Take one step forward into the unknown to prove to yourself that you can step out of indecision and fear and into what you know you were born to do.

Whatever happens after that is information that will inform what your next step is.

You can course correct along the way.

Before long, you’ll see how everything connected to move you to a place you may not have pictured, but that feels so right.

I’m in this with you - taking one scary step forward after the other. We’ve got this.
