The Counterintuitive Path to Sustainable Success in Online Business

Ready to hear how scaling back could be your secret weapon to scaling up? 🚀

In this raw and honest episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my 2024 journey of intentionally making less money to build a stronger foundation. For course creators feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to constantly scale up, this story might just give you the permission you've been waiting for to slow down and build something truly sustainable.

After riding high during the COVID boom with a team of 14 and soaring revenue, I faced some tough decisions that ultimately led to scaling back. What I discovered in the process wasn't just a more profitable business model – it was a more joyful way to run my empire.

“There's joy in going back to basics… This was my season for scaling back, simplifying, and just going back to basics. And I actually found so much joy in just being in touch with the nitty gritty again.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why cutting back can actually set you up for stronger growth
  • Learn the four key priorities that helped me rebuild with intention
  • Understand how to identify unnecessary complexity in your business
  • See how embracing your natural rhythms can lead to better results
  • Find out why some “scaling back” seasons are essential for long-term success

Grab your favorite chai latte and settle in – this is the honest conversation about business that nobody else is having! ☕️

💚 💚 💚
