Let’s be honest—entrepreneurship can feel like a never-ending to-do list. One minute you’re launching, the next you’re tweaking your offer, and somehow, you’re still working more than you ever did in your 9-to-5.

If you’re tired of the hustle cycle and want a business that actually works without you being in it 24/7, this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down 7 key shifts to help you create an evergreen business—one that gives you freedom and profit (without constantly starting over).

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✔️ Why more isn’t always better (and what to focus on instead)
✔️ The power of refining vs. reinventing your offers
✔️ How to create assets that bring in revenue without your constant involvement

It’s time to shift from busy to sustainable.
