Jana Boyko: The Personal Side of Business

Send us a text

What if the bravest business move isn’t a new offer, but finally listening to yourself?

In this episode of Anxiously Ambitious, I’m joined by Jana Boyko: entrepreneur, business coach, and creator of the guided journals Bedside Business Plan and Employee to Entrepreneur. Jana shares how she walked away from a shiny advertising career, navigated a painful early partnership breakdown, and rebuilt a business by choosing boundaries, integrity, and self-trust.

We get into what it means to design a business that doesn’t abandon you, how to include yourself in your plan, and why the first step is often to simply start.

In this episode, we explore:

• The moment Jana realized she “couldn’t hear herself” and what she did next
• Redefining success so it fits your life, not someone else’s timeline
• Boundaries 101: saying no, having your own back, and avoiding self-abandonment
• How Bedside Business Plan was born from the question: “What if you could journal a business plan?”
• Action over perfection and how there’s nothing to “get right”
• A 20-reasons exercise to quiet self-doubt and build evidence for your next move
