Lessons from my businesses...
I want to take you back to a specific time in my first business, the Southern Jewlz boutique. I was "successful." I had a storefront, made sales, and was known in my community. But behind the scenes, my life was a cycle of constant, manual work. If I wasn't physically there, the business barely existed. I was the one working the register the day before Christmas, exhausted, while my friends were with their families. I was stuck on a treadmill, trading my time for dollars, and my energy was the fuel. The "feast or famine" cycle was my reality. My "Aha" moment wasn't actually about working harder. I finally realized that worldly success means nothing if you're too drained to enjoy your own life!! Now, check out whatâs working for me: - Building systems that turn my knowledge into evergreen content - Creating automated pathways that welcome new clients without me manually onboarding each one - Protecting my creative energy so I can actually enjoy the business Iâve built (!!!) - Remembering that scalability beats hustle every. single. time. đ¸ Truth bomb moment: âA wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.â - Proverbs 14:1 Weâre building LEGACIES here! Not another burnout story. Tell me: - Where in your business are you still doing things manually that drain your energy? - Whatâs ONE system you could build this week that would give you back 5+ hours? Spill it in the comments đIâm here for all of it.
