Hello, beauties! Welcome back to Call Her Boss! This week, we're shifting our focus from motherhood and relationships to business. It's the five-year anniversary of my small business, coinciding with my 38th birthday. This phase feels like the 'awkward teen years' of business ownership—not brand new, yet not a well-established entity either. Today, I'm sharing insights from personal experience and advice from business genius Jay Fallsgraph about navigating a plateau. We'll talk about maintaining consistency, scaling, and the importance of systems and delegation. I'll also cover the pros and cons of this plateau phase, discuss founder fatigue and market saturation, and explore revenue diversification strategies. This episode is packed with actionable steps to push through and thrive beyond the business plateau. Let's level up together!
