Are you working nonstop in your product-based business but still not seeing the results in your bank account? Let me tell you the good news, hustling harder is NOT the answer. In this episode, I break down how to build a simple weekly rhythm that actually supports your revenue goals and your real life. I walk you through a coaching session with a burned-out student who was doing “all the things,” and show you exactly how we reset her quarter with clear revenue targets, lifestyle goals, and a realistic weekly schedule for making, marketing, shipping, and CEO time. You’ll learn how to plan your quarter like a million dollar product boss, use the 15 Minute CEO Review to stay focused, and create systems that work whether you sell on Etsy, Amazon, wholesale, markets, or your own online shop. If you’re ready to work smarter with a repeatable system instead of relying on willpower and chaos, this episode will help you create a weekly rhythm that saves you time, grows your sales, and gives you more freedom.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

00:00 Why “doing more” isn’t growing your product business the way you hoped.

02:00 How to reverse burn-out before the holiday season.

04:00 How to connect your revenue goals to your lifestyle, family, and freedom vision.
