Own Your Business

Are You Growing a Business — or Just Making More Work?


Listen Later

More clients, more revenue, more help — but also more chaos? You might not be growing a business. You might just be making more work.

Summary:

In this episode, we break down the common trap creative entrepreneurs fall into: mistaking hustle and busyness for true business growth. We’ll explore why your efforts to “grow” might actually be making your life harder — and how to redefine growth in a way that gives you margin, clarity, and freedom. If you’re feeling stretched thin but still stuck, this one’s for you.

Takeaways:

  • The subtle but dangerous difference between growing a business and just making more work

  • Why hiring, more services, or new offers often don’t solve the overwhelm

  • How brand clarity and systems are the real drivers of sustainable growth

  • What it looks like to pursue “margin over movement” in your business
