Episode Summary:

Running a small business doesn’t have to mean running yourself into the ground. In this episode, I’ll show you three foundational systems I use and teach to help entrepreneurs reduce stress, increase income, and actually enjoy the business they’re building.

What You’ll Learn:

• Set clear communication boundaries without leaving clients in the dark
• Create a simple shared workflow tool that cuts interruptions and boosts clarity
• Price your work by the project, not the hour, to avoid scope creep
• Define deliverables, timelines, and revision limits upfront
• Build a reputation of trust by consistently following through
