- What kind of business you’re building: I help exhausted caregivers care for their whole health by resting in Christ. - My business has changed a lot in seven years to grow with the needs of my family. I coach more now through created resources such as courses, books, and templates. I still do one on one but it’s limited. - I’m pivoting this business into fully automated because I’m learning skills for a different business. With all I’ve learned for my business and marketing for a running store and their run coaching programs, I am training to become a health writer. It combines all my experience and is very flexible. - Where you’re currently focusing your energy: My energy is into minimizing overhead in my caregiver business and find a maintenance rhythm to make room for growing the health writer business. We are also prepping for a move so business on autopilot during the transition. - One thing you’d love more clarity or momentum around: I’m not sure. I think I know what to do. I simply need to do it even when I don’t feel like it🤨 tiny bits of action during my work hours. Then switch my hats for the next roles as they come and show up well there too. I know being patient when you have so little time and so many ideas. I’m in the US moving back to TN this Spring. I love Jesus, books, running, and creating space for others to belong and grow.

A lot of business owners manage their own websites, even when it’s not their area of expertise. If that’s you… what’s the real reason? No judgment. Just trying to understand how people think about ownership, trust, and control when it comes to their website.

Now that I’m level 2 and can share an insight, let me tell you a story about an entrepreneur named Olivia (not a real name). She built a successful online business teaching women how to take their time into their hands. She started with one simple planner and time management courses, and grew into a really big personal brand, working with experts in multiple fields, publishing their books, courses and changing lives. She was very successful, but her strength became her weakness. See, she built her business on her energy, her face, her ideas - and people loved her for it. She hosted famous live sessions on social media, closed webinars bursting with knowledge and energy, and sold out her products constantly. The problem started… well, when the problems started. You know the saying - it never rains, it pours. Olivia had some major curveballs thrown her way - sure, some of them were boomerangs, but some of them came just out of nowhere. Hard. She suffered from depression. She no longer had the energy to show up on Instagram and Facebook every day. She no longer danced during her live sessions. Her team tried to pick up the socials, but it just wasn’t the same. The sales shriveled. It was just adding fuel to Olivia’s anxiety fire. And here comes one of my biggest regrets - as a contractor, I saw the warning signs. I saw the launch heavy sales model, I saw the social media heavy communication of (who I thought to be) an invincible businesswoman. I saw the data for (non-existent) evergreen funnels. At the time, I just had some anxiety about her putting all the eggs in one social media basket she didn’t even own. We all agreed it’s time to build funnels that don’t require Olivia’s constant time and energy, but there was always another launch to plan and prepare - and if it flopped, it meant business trouble, so prepare we did. Until the sales grew slower and slower, and the pouring rain turned into waves bigger and bigger, culminating in a tsunami wiping the whole business off the face of the earth.

First time I've interacted with a custom GPT and I love it. Solidified what I'm thinking and helped me to keep the focus there. Just used the Level 2 Orientation Tool — my focus this month is: Local collaborative fresh milled baking classes. I’m saying no to: launching a big online community, high-production content, and overcomplicating my strategy.
