create true success
I totally bought into the idea that I should work more to get more done and that my reward for all of this time and effort would be success - climbing the corporate ladder, partnership, money, prestige. So I worked tons of overtime hours - more than anyone else in the firm when I was a corporate girl.
And I was miserable. I was missing out on time with my son, I was compensating for my stress, overwhelm and misery with food, wine, Netflix and obsessive running (to the point I actually broke both of my legs - yes this is crazy, I know). I wanted to scale back my workweek desperately but everyone told me that if I did I would have to give up on my dreams of success and would make less money.
I finally called BS on what these so called “logical” people were telling me and decided I would be different. True success couldn’t be at the expense of myself or my life.
hard work doesn't create true success
Then I had the epiphany that changed everything. I realized that it wasn’t the hours that mattered but what I accomplished in my time that was valuable. From this one shift in mindset, I scaled back my workweek to 30 hours and got the same amount done as other people in my same position.
I decided if I could make this work in the corporate world with all of its rules then I could totally do it in my own biz. So I applied this idea to my own side hustle. And I quickly built it to a multiple six figure biz in two years working about 25 hours a week.
time doesn't get things done- you do.
time doesn't make money– you do.
when you learn how to break the time and money connection in your brain, you are free.
free to work less.
free to make more money.
free to enjoy your work and your life.
free to make a bigger impact.
free to live the lifestyle you want.
it all starts with taking control of your schedule
when you know
+ what to schedule
+ how to follow through on your schedule (even if you don't feel like it)
+ what to do when the schedule doesn't work
you take back control of it
and when you are in control– you are unstoppable. you run your world– on your own terms.
