In this episode, we’re getting real about what’s holding you back from success. If you’re tired of losing, fed up with debt, and done feeling like a bad business owner while others seem to be thriving, this episode is for you. No rainbows, no sunshine—just honest talk about what it takes to get unstuck and start making real progress.


What You’ll Learn:

  • 5 things NOT to do if you want to take your business to the next level.
  • How to identify and avoid habits that waste your time, keep you distracted, and don’t move the needle.
  • 5 actionable steps to take control, stay focused, and actually grow your business.


    • Key Topics:

    • What Holds You Back: Are you doomscrolling, getting bogged down in busywork, or spending time on tasks that don’t drive growth? This episode tackles these pitfalls head-on.
    • The Power of Prioritization: Learn why focusing on lead generation, marketing, and tasks that directly impact revenue is key to moving forward.
    • The Mindset Shift: Stop doing everything yourself—outsource the small stuff and put your energy where it matters.
