Small business success: Systems and mindset behind "getting it all done"

Small Biz Babes Community Podcast

Ever felt like there just aren't enough hours in a day to get it all done? Wondering how successful entrepreneurs manage to do it all? Don't we all have 24 hours in a day? Do they have some secret system that makes it all work? And what about personal responsibilities? Do they have house cleaners and huge teams?

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I can share with you how I do it.

I used to work 16-hour days when I started my first business because I had no systems and zero time management skills. But one step at a time, I cut it down in my businesses to 5-8 hours a day with weekends off, maintaining multi-six figures.

This episode is an honest chat about the journey, the systems, and the changes I went through to "get it all done."
