Why Your Own Business Feels Heavier Than Your 9-5 (And How to Fix It)

Description:

You didn't start your business to feel more trapped than you did in your 9-5. But if you're honest, your calendar is full of things you never wanted to do. Client calls that drain you. Admin that never ends. Team meetings that steal your creative time.

This is what I call the freedom drift. It's not your fault, but it happened by default. You said yes to everyone else so many times that you subconsciously said no to yourself.

In this episode, I walk you through the quarterly freedom audit I do to make sure I'm still building the business I actually want. You'll learn the 3 questions that reveal where you've drifted, the 5 freedom levers you can pull to redesign your business, and why your business model might be misaligned with your nervous system.

If you've ever thought "why did I start this again?" or "should I just go back to working for a boss?" this episode will help you remember that YOU are the boss. You just need to get better at designing the ideal role for yourself.
