156. 10 things I stopped doing to stop running my business like an emergency
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the 10 things I stopped doing to make my business feel less like an emergency. For the first two years of my business, I felt like everything needed my immediate attention. I was checking emails, responding to clients, watching sales, and starting my workday before I even got out of bed. Eventually, I realized that constantly operating with that sense of urgency was taking a toll on me—and something needed to change. The surprising part? I didn’t need to completely overhaul my business. I didn’t change my marketing, take on fewer clients, or restructure my offers. Instead, I made small changes to the way I interacted with my business—like deleting email from my phone, limiting my time on social media, creating stronger boundaries with clients, building recurring revenue, and giving my team more room to do the jobs I hired them to do. If your business constantly makes you feel rushed, behind, or afraid that opportunities will disappear if you don’t respond immediately, this episode is for you. My hope is that these 10 changes give you ideas for creating more peace, stability, and flow in your own business—without feeling like you have to burn the whole thing down and start over. What you'll learn Why I deleted the email app from my phone and stopped checking my inbox every day How app limits, phone restrictions, and no-phone Sundays helped me become more intentional with my time Why setting boundaries and no longer being available 24/7 actually benefits both me and my clients How monthly recurring revenue created more stability and removed the pressure of constantly starting from zero Why reducing social media consumption and letting go of micromanaging my team freed up time, energy, and mental space in my business Resources & Links: Scalability Hour Rich Join Kajabi: 3 months for $99 + a bonus from me!
