How did you get started then? So a husband has a healthy boundary. He's, you know, hey, we need
you here. He's concerned for sick your family. And how did you make the transition? Yes. Yes.
So it certainly wasn't easy, no doubt. And it's still a journey I'm on, right? I've certainly come
a long way from where I was, but those old habits still want to creep in sometimes. But really,
really started with saying, okay, it's a mindset shift. I have to think of myself as the CEO of
my business. And to some people, especially solopreneurs, they're like, no, I'm not a CEO.
I don't, you know, I've got, I'm not managing, I don't have a board of directors. No, it looks
different, of course, but I'm responsible for the strategy and the vision, right? Where this boat of
my business is going in the next 12 months, the next three years, next five years is my responsibility.
That's right. And if I'm not clear on that, it's gonna be chaos. Right? So that's where I had to
start was to say, okay, what is my vision? Where do I want to go? And then what steps do I need to
take to get me closer to that? And it's not about I mean, I'm sure you can agree with this, not about
creating that vision, and then stuffing it in the back of Google Drive. It's about having it front
and center, right? So that when new shiny objects come in, I mean the podcast that because of that,
right? Yes, exactly. And so it's, you know, when those new, some of those first steps you took,
okay, yes. So those are still, yeah, for sure. I know I had to be clear on my vision. And then
the other thing I had to do was look at all the things that I had to do in my business and be
strategic with my task list. Because what I was doing is saying, oh, I'll start at the top and
just plow through, you know, as many as I can get done. Or the other ways, depending on my mood,
sometimes I would just cherry pick those things that I wanted to do. But I had to be strategic
and say what things are actually going to move the needle forward and make sure I have time in my week
to do those things each and every week. Right? So being realistic about my time and what how I was
going to spend that time. That was a big one to start with. Another thing was looking at my
calendar, because I had my calendar wide open, you could book whatever you wanted whenever you wanted,
pretty much. Right? And so again, I had to be strategic about that. No, I have dedicated time
when I'm working on my marketing system, dedicated time when I'm working on my sales, dedicated time
for client delivery. And, you know, those are non negotiable. Those are booked into my calendar.
I also have dedicated time for my family and my life.
