Hey there, let’s get real for a second.
There is no single “right” way to build a business.
There’s only the right way for YOU. And guess what? That might change depending on the season of life you’re in or the stage of your business.
The truth? If your business isn’t working for you, it’s working against you. And that’s a one-way ticket to burnout, frustration, and wondering why you ever started this thing in the first place.
So, let’s talk about it. Here are three clear signs that your business isn’t designed to support you—and what you can do about it today.
1. You have no free time.
📍 What this looks like:
Your to-do list is never-ending, your weekends are spent working, and you can’t remember the last time you had a guilt-free day off.
🔹 What happens when you fix this:
Nancy was in this exact spot—working nights and weekends, feeling like she could never step away. We streamlined her business, simplified her offers, and—boom—she got her evenings back AND increased her income. More time, more joy, more freedom.
✅ What you can do today:
Set one non-negotiable boundary in your schedule. Maybe it’s no work after 6 PM, or one full weekend off a month. Start there. You’ll be shocked at how much changes when you protect your time.
2. You’re not making the money you want.
📍 What this looks like:
You’re working hard, doing all the things, and still—your bank account isn’t reflecting your effort. You feel like you’re constantly chasing the next sale instead of feeling financially secure.
🔹 What happens when you fix this:
Linda was stuck in the cycle of undercharging and overdelivering. We adjusted her pricing, refined her offers, and within weeks, she booked her first premium client. She’s now making more while working less.
✅ What you can do today:
Take a hard look at your pricing. Are you charging enough? If not, adjust it. (Yes, really. You’re not meant to work for pennies.)
3. Marketing feels yucky.
📍 What this looks like:
You avoid promoting yourself because it feels awkward, salesy, or just… not you. Maybe you’re trying to follow some cookie-cutter strategy that feels completely out of alignment.
🔹 What happens when you fix this:
Sara dreaded marketing—until we found a way for her to show up in a way that felt natural. Instead of scripted posts and cold outreach, she started using stories and conversations. Within a few months, her business was thriving without the ick factor.
✅ What you can do today:
Ditch anything that feels fake. Choose one way to market yourself that actually feels good. Maybe it’s storytelling, behind-the-scenes shares, or casual conversations instead of “sales pitches.” Just try it.
