As a follow-up to last week's episode about the importance of boundaries : this week Amanda and Emily discuss the balance between "Hustle" and "Grace". 

Boundaries show that you respect yourself, your time, your health and your family  -- but putting in the hard work shows that you also respect your business and the future that you are trying to build together. Admittedly, it's a tricky line to walk between self care and the actual effort it takes to build something wonderful. Listen in as we discuss walking that line this week on the Small Business Wife podcast. 

Amanda and Emily get a little riled up on this week's episode as they discuss the importance of setting boundaries in every aspect of your life. They dive specifically into business owning, setting and keeping boundaries with your clients and their biggest regrets when it comes to not setting boundaries sooner. 

One of the most amazing aspects of living the entrepreneurial life is exposing your children to all the freedom that it has to offer. This week on the Small Business Wife podcast, Amanda, Darby and Emily discuss fostering the dreams that our children have and how they encourage and navigate difficult conversations about the freedoms and responsibilities that come along with owning a small business.  

Have you ever wondered what your most important next step is? Or gotten to a point in your business that you seemed to plateau? 

This week on the Small Business Wife podcast, Amanda and Emily are joined by Amanda's husband Darby as he discusses the 5 moves that every business owner should plan for as they start and scale. They also discuss "start - stops" in business and some practical ways that you can avoid them. 

This week Emily and Amanda take a look back at their top 2 business mistakes. Nobody is perfect, especially in business where market changes, global pandemics and technology constantly change the game. Business owning is a learning process, so jump in to hear about a few of the things they've learned through their time as Small Business Wives. 

This is one of our favorite episodes! Join Amanda and Emily this week as they discuss the times in business owning that they were confronted with Impostor Syndrome and how they were able to work through it. 

Impostor Syndrome seems to plague every business owning wife at some point in their journey. Whether you're supporting your husband's dream and vision or you are casting vision for your own business, there always seems to be that small voice of doubt or shame threatening to take you out. Tune in this week for some practical tips on how to power through and own the role you were meant to play in this business owning life. 

This week Amanda and Emily discuss the practical ways that they decide when to bring in licensed professionals as well as the most important things they look for. 

There are certain aspects of business owning that just plain require a professional. Legal, Finance, Marketing, and Coaching are the four that we here at Small Business Wife believe are the first aspects you should outsource. Can you learn business law well enough to get started? Most likely! But why spend all the time, energy and effort when there are highly qualified individuals who you can hire on to take care of you? 

Whether you're a seasoned business owner or brand new to the game, one thing is for certain : you're going to get overwhelmed! At some point we all reach our capacity and have to pivot to function. This week Amanda and Emily discuss their (recent) seasons of overwhelm and what they have done to manage through those crazy moments. 

Amanda and Emily discuss their morning routines and disciplines and how setting them intentionally can set you up for success throughout the day. 

This week Amanda and Emily break down their long term goals and walk those back into quarterly plans as they model how to take big vision and make it manageable for the every day.
