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 what’s 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 I’ve built (!!!)
- Remembering that scalability beats hustle every. single. time.
💸 Truth bomb moment: “A wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.” - Proverbs 14:1
We’re building LEGACIES here! Not another burnout story.
Tell me:
- Where in your business are you still doing things manually that drain your energy?
- What’s ONE system you could build this week that would give you back 5+ hours?
