Shameless Leadership

831: Megan Flatt: Do Less Better


Listen Later

Megan Flatt is a business growth strategist on a mission to make entrepreneurship easier. She believes you can have a thriving business, a community, and a life — and you don’t need more time, you need more focus. She’s the founder of Focus Sessions and the author of Focused: Reclaim Your Time, Ditch Overwhelm, and Do Less Better.  Besides helping women and business owners focus, Megan is obsessed with lattes, post-it notes, and romance novels. Outside of work, you will find her focus turned to her husband and two kids, probably near the water, in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

Megan and I met when we were in a business coaching group together years ago.  You know when you meet someone who is annoyed by the same things as you and loves the same things as you - magic, right?!  That’s Megan and me.  We don’t talk often enough.  But, whenever we have the chance to reconnect it’s gold.  You’ll hear that in this conversation today!

Listen in to hear Megan share:

  • Book: Focused: Reclaim Your Time, Ditch Overwhelm, and Do Less Better
  • How building a business as new mom led her to see the danger of chronic hustle culture for women and moms

  • How to reframe and reclaim your power in your boundaries around volunteering
