You've probably heard the supposed secrets to small business success: posting 5 times a day on Instagram, going viral on TikTok, adhering to a strict 5 am morning routine, or constantly churning out new digital products. But are these really the keys to small business success?

As someone who's built a highly profitable and surprisingly relaxed service-based business that's generated over a million dollars in lifetime revenue in just 6 years, I can confidently say I did NONE of those things.

Instead, I developed a handful of habits that have allowed me to run a successful, laid-back business that provides both a comfortable work-life balance and a solid monthly income.

In this episode, I'm sharing the 20 Tiny Habits that helped me build a thriving small business as a copywriter. These are practical, actionable tips that can help you achieve success without sacrificing your sanity or personal life.

Topics We Cover in This Episode: 

• A small but impactful ritual that will add joy to your workday
• A practical technique to overcome writer's block and start writing faster
• The mindset shift that turns business challenges into exciting experiments
