Business Can Be Chill (‘Chill & Prosper’ by Denise Duffield-Thomas | Book Club | 299 )
In this Book Club episode, Charelle and I dive into Chill & Prosper by Denise Duffield-Thomas—a book that feels like a breath of fresh air for entrepreneurs who are tired of hustle culture. Denise invites us to imagine a business that’s based on ease, alignment, and yes, chilling out… without sacrificing results.
We chat through all four parts of the book—mindset, business models, money, and marketing—and share our favorite takeaways, quotes, and personal reflections. Whether you’re new to Denise’s world or have been following her for years, this conversation will get you thinking about what it means to truly design a business that serves you, not the other way around.
What’s included in this episode:
What it means to be a “chiller” in business
The 3 money mindset blocks that hold most entrepreneurs back
How perfectionism might be costing you money
The concept of the “golden goose” and how to protect your most valuable asset (you!)
Why designing your business model around your life and strengths is key
What the “keyless life” looks like—and how to create one
Pricing mistakes and awkward money convos (plus Denise’s scripts!)
Our take on “Chillpreneur” marketing—what works and what might be missing
