I posted something recently about being playful in business.

And then I realized—wait, I talk all the time about commitment, discipline, and going ALL IN.

Am I contradicting myself?

Not quite.

Here's the truth: There's a part of your business where you need to be DEAD SERIOUS. And there's another part where you need to be lighthearted, curious, and willing to experiment.

Most entrepreneurs get this backwards.

They're playful about their commitment (quitting when things get hard, pivoting every time a shiny object appears, fragmenting their energy across multiple opportunities).

And they're SERIOUS about their strategy (attached to one way of doing things, stressed when it doesn't work immediately, quitting before they've actually tested anything).

That's the recipe for burnout. And failure.

In this episode, I'm breaking down where to be serious and where to be playful—so you can build something that actually lasts.

Here's what you'll learn:

→ Where to be SERIOUS: Your commitment. Take quitting off the table. If there was no Plan B, no option to go back to a job, what would you do? THAT'S the energy you need.

→ What "all in" actually means: Your complete and undivided attention, intention, and focus on ONE thing. Not "I'm committed but also doing three other side projects." That's fragmented energy. And fragmented energy doesn't build traction.

→ Where to be PLAYFUL: Your strategy and execution. Test your platform. Test your messaging. Test your demand angles. Be curious. Experiment. Adjust. This is where you get to play.

→ Why people quit: They get too serious about the execution (stressed when a post doesn't get engagement, discouraged when a strategy doesn't work immediately). When you're playful about testing, you don't quit—you just try something else.

→ The 30-day test: Commit to testing ONE thing for 30 days. Review what worked. Double down. Test again. Repeat. This is how you find what works without burning out.

→ The hardest part of entrepreneurship: The interim between starting and "it's finally working." That gap is brutal. And it's why your commitment (the SERIOUS part) has to be rock solid.

Bottom line:

Be serious about your commitment. Not quitting is non-negotiable.

Be playful in your approach. Test, experiment, adjust, and stay curious.

When you get this right? Everything changes.

Your energy stays focused. Your strategy evolves. Your business grows.

And you don't burn out chasing the next shiny thing.

What are YOU committed to? And where could you be more playful?
