Sean: One of the things that you mentioned earlier, step back, look up. I'm sure you've had those weeks where you feel like you're gripped by your business or by your clients and your quality of life as an entrepreneur suffers. I've been there and it's horrible because I am hot-headed, ill-tempered, and I feel stressed often.

What are some of your best pieces of advice? I'm happy to say I'm a little bit done with that right now. Just a little bit, but I have some ways to go. It's clear for me what I have to do though, but there are some people that just don't know where to start. They just think they can't take that two weeks off. If they do the house is going to burn down.

What are some of your best pieces of advice to entrepreneurs who are in that rut?

Jennifer: Radically, you know, that's been a lot over the past year and that's a lot that I haven't marketed on because it was just me, you know, now in the business had a business that completely changed.

You had so many of the things going on and really my life was chaos and it's, you know, to say the least. So I think it's looking and finding the flow. I think at first of all, it's realizing that you need to build a business that suits you, that makes you happy. Now, happiness and hard work can go together. I think a lot of times people think, oh, it has to be easy.

No, we can work hard. You know, when we do need to work hard. Well, that doesn't mean we aren't happy in the business that we're building. So I think, first of all, it's getting clear that the business that you're building, isn't modeled off some internet guru, you know, going, oh, put up the sales page and get, you know, 500 million pounds.

And it isn't, it's built for you. It's built that works with your life, work with your schedule, works with the amount of time that you have available to put into it. So we're not completely overloading ourselves and going right. I have to do 30 hours' worth of work, but really I only have 15 hours.

You know, available on my schedule because of kids or whatever the case might be. So it's fine. It's, it's being aware that yes, here's what I have to put into the business and getting very clear on that and setting those boundaries. Now, then you may find, yes, you need to work an hour in the evenings, you know, or two hours in the evenings after the kids go to sleep.

And maybe that allows you to take dinner time off, you know, to spend with the family after school and things of that nature, you know. For instance, that's something that I do. It's getting clear on what you want your business to be, getting clear on what is going to make it, it makes you happy to be in your business when working.

And then also finding flow and finding, you know, and it's hard for early entrepreneurs to kind of do this, but setting, setting boundaries, maybe theme days, you know, you can say right, getting rid of a lot of context switching, you know, when we do a lot of context switching, we're bouncing from one thing to another. It's completely wasting time.

I believe also, and again, this is something that I worked very hard to sort of weed out is working on their own things of their own time. So it's, it's finding the right, what is it that I need to work on right now? What's, you know, what's the major thing. Do I really need to do five podcasts?

Do I need to have a YouTube channel and do a need to, you know, be on Facebook for three hours, scrolling endlessly and you know, the part about in canva for two hours? No, keep it. We need to keep our time lane. We need to find flow. We need to find our focus on what are the main things that are going to move the needle in our business.
